THE Palestinian Authority is to suspend all agreements with Israel, President Mahmoud Abbas announced last night. 

Following an emergency meeting with Palestinian Liberation Organisation leaders in Ramallah, Mr Abbas said the authority would form a committee charged with cancelling all deals with Israel. However, no timeline was given. 

“We announce the leadership’s decision to stop implementing the agreements signed with the Israeli side,” Mr Abbas said in a televised address in the occupied West Bank.
