Palestinians threaten to quit Oslo Accords over Trump peace plan

Says plan will change temporary occupation into permanent one

Palestinian officials threatened Sunday to withdraw from key provisions of the Oslo Accords, which define relations with Israel, if US President Donald Trump announces his Middle East peace plan next week.

Chief Palestinian negotiation Saeb Erekat told journalists that the Palestinian Liberation Organisation reserved the right “to withdraw from the interim agreement”, the concrete part of the Oslo deal, if Trump unveils his plan.

The Trump initiative will turn Israel’s “temporary occupation (of Palestinian territory) into a permanent occupation”, Erekat said.
