Palestinian officials vote to suspend recognition of Israel

JERUSALEM — Palestinian leaders on Monday voted to suspend recognition of Israel until it reciprocates by recognizing a Palestinian state and to cease security cooperation, as the political fallout from the Trump administration’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital escalated.

Members of the Palestine Liberation Organization’s central council made the recommendation during a meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, where they had gathered to formulate their response to recent moves by Washington that have incensed the Palestinian leadership.

In addition to the Jerusalem decision, the Trump administration has also threatened to close down offices of the PLO in Washington and, according to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, attempted to present a peace plan that gave them a suburb of Jerusalem as their capital, instead of the city’s eastern side. When Abbas said the United States could no longer be considered a fair broker for negotiations, the U.S. administration threatened aid cuts.

“He’s taken us hundreds of miles back,” said Qais Abd ­al-Karim, a Palestinian official who was present at the meeting. “The Trump decision on Jerusalem completely destroyed the immediate prospects of any peace process.”

In its declaration, the council said the Palestinians should no longer be bound by the Oslo accords, a set of agreements between Israel and the PLO signed in 1993. Those agreements set in place the Palestinian Authority’s security cooperation with Israel, with the two sides sharing intelligence to thwart attacks. That cooperation should be stopped “in all forms,” the council’s statement said. The Palestinian Authority has threatened to make the move in the past, but has never carried through.

The recommendations were made to the PLO’s executive committee which still needs to implement them.

Its always been clear as water: radical palestinians and the jihad just dont want a peaceful middle east. The pain they inflict on their own people is worse than anything else. These type of people are better off dead. 

 

Sorry if I come on too strong but with what happened today in Venezuela, Ive been rethinking about how we should treat people who only do harm. Id love to have a wand and send them straight to hell

The US will never stop to make Middle East an even more unstable region and that's ****ed up. They've been doing this for half a century without any sanctions from the international community. That's a shame.

The creation of the states of Israel and Palestine has always been difficult and this stupid Trump just threw away decades of negociation like it doesn't matter. And of course it doesn't when you're sipping a cocktail in your Palm Beach mansion...

can he resign already? He didn’t even start any process to recognize Israel so he’s just lying to show his people that he’s “strong”.. 

He keeps on doing huge mistakes and bad statements, give falls hopes to the Palestinians.

Time to bring a new strong leader that can finally change things for the best.

more than 10 years and all he achieved is to make the Palestinians poorer, angrier and without any hope.

He and Netanyahu are throwing stones at each other like idiots instead of just f-cing sit and talk like good leaders,

they are nothing but 2 extreme right-wing nationalists..
