Ministerial Panel to Weigh Bill Canceling Oslo Accords

The early-stage proposal signals a bid by far-right lawmakers to rewrite ties with the Palestinian Authority.

Overview

  • A government legislation committee will review a proposal that would void the Oslo Accords and related agreements with the PLO and the Palestinian Authority.
  • MK Limor Son Har-Melech submitted the bill with all Otzma Yehudit members as co-sponsors, casting it as a security response to the October 7 attacks.
  • The draft states that every IsraelPLO or PA agreement would no longer bind the state and orders the repeal of Israeli laws that implemented those deals.
  • National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir endorsed the move, calling the accords a national disaster and praising the bill as a correction.
  • Passage would unwind the 1993 framework that created the Palestinian Authority and set security coordination, which could disrupt daily governance and spur legal and diplomatic disputes.
