Mahmoud Abbas, Palestinian Authority President, Says He’s No Longer Bound by Oslo Accords
The New York Times ^ | September 30, 2015 | Rick Gladstone and Jodi Rudoren

Demonstrating a new level of tension with Israel, President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian Authority declared Wednesday that it was no longer bound by the Oslo Peace Accords and subsequent agreements that formed the basis for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

In his annual General Assembly speech, Mr. Abbas accused Israel of having violated these pacts, which date back two decades and outline security, economic and other arrangements in the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel during and after the 1967 war. He asserted that there was no reason that the Palestinians should remain faithful to them as long as the Israelis were not.

Therefore, Mr. Abbas said, “we cannot continue to be bound by these signed agreements with Israel and Israel must assume fully all its responsibility as an occupying power.”

The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel said in a statement that Mr. Abbas’s speech was “deceitful and encourages incitement and lawlessness in the Middle East.”(continued)

Don’t we (the US) train PA troops? I recall an Israeli complaining that at the rate PA units are being armed and trained by the US, that soon Israeli outposts will have to be heavily reinforced or face the risk of being overrun.

excerpt-Hudna With Hamas Media Critiques June 23, 2003

Hudna has a distinct meaning to Islamic fundamentalists, well-versed in their history: The prophet Mohammad struck a legendary, ten-year hudna with the Quraysh tribe that controlled Mecca in the seventh century. Over the following two years, Mohammad rearmed and took advantage of a minor Quraysh infraction to break the hudna and launch the full conquest of Mecca, the holiest city in Islam. - Tom

Just think: the Iranians have promised nukes to anyone who will use them on the US or Israel.

Have a nice day. :)

Well, he’s not bound by his elected term of office, which expired what? ten years ago? So this hardly comes as a surprise. Wow, a Muslim without honor? Knock me over with a feather.

Now that’s just crazy talk. There’s no evidence at all that Russia wants to destroy Israel.

Netanyahu went to Moscow if you recall to share intelligence with Putin about Syria.
