Palestine Liberation Organisation withdraws from the Oslo peace accords

THE Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) has voted to withdraw from the Oslo peace accords and recommended revoking recognition of Israel.

The PLO Central Committee voted late yesterday to quit the US-brokered 1993 and 1995 accords agreed by the late PLO leader and Palestinian president Yasser Arafat and Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin.

Council chairman Salim Al-Za’noun read out the final statement of the two-day meeting ending recognition of Israel until it in turn recognises a Palestinian state on the pre-1967 borders and East Jerusalem as its capital.
