Iran Press/Middle East: Following a meeting of PLO leaders in Ramallah on Thursday, Mahmoud Abbas said in a statement that the Palestinian leadership has decided to “halt” all agreements signed with Israel.
The meeting was called to discuss this week’s demolition of Palestinian buildings in the Wadi al-Hummus area near the east Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher, AFP reported.
“As of tomorrow, we will lay mechanisms for implementing the decision taken by the Palestinian Central Council,” Abbas said, adding that a special committee will be formed to follow up on the decision.
However, he did not say how the PA would “halt work” related to the agreements signed between the Palestinians and Israel.
Abbas remarks came three days after Israel leveled several buildings it claims were built too close to its West Bank sapartied wall after a years-long legal battle.
Abbas restated his opposition to President Donald Trump's "Deal of the Century", saying, "Palestine and Al Quds are not for sale or bargain."
A number of Palestinian key decision-making institutions have recommended that the PA revise all agreements with Israel and halt security coordination between the PA security forces and the Israeli army in the West Bank.
