PLO forms committee to halt security coordination with Israel

March 20, 2015

The PLO Executive Committee yesterday appointed the Political Committee and heads of the security services to develop a detailed plan to stop security coordination and review economic relations with Israel.

Member of the PLO Executive Committee, Ahmed Al-Majdalani, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed news site: "The political committee was commissioned with developing a detailed plan to arrange for suspending security coordination with the Israeli occupation in cooperation with security agency chiefs."

"The same committee, in collaboration with several ministers and experts, will discuss the economic file, specifically the abolition of the Paris Convention," Al-Majdalani noted.

The Executive Committee has also decided to form a Palestinian delegation that includes representatives of the Palestinian factions who will travel to the Gaza Strip to start a comprehensive dialogue with the participation of Hamas and Islamic Jihad on the implementation of the reconciliation decisions especially enabling the unity government to exercise its duties to reconstruct the Gaza Strip and to arrange for presidential and legislative elections.

1. Israel has all but declared Oslo dead by stealing the tax moneys from the PA.

So, yeah, if Israel is going to economically prevent the PA from paying its police, then the PA is not going to tell those police to cooperate with the foreign occupier and certainly the resources won't be there to prevent attacks on Israelis.

Israel has long thought that it had the problem solved in the West Bank--just build a wall and slowly crush the prisoners within.

This is going to prove shortsighted.

Elections have consequences.

very quiet of late.

Sure, there is some back-bencher noise, but besides that...crickets.

that Netanyahu clearly supports a two-state solution, and that the only problem is that the Palestinians are a bunch of mini-Hitlers, etc.

5. Ah, but the local Hasbunnies make a career of trying to act like they don't support Netanyahu

And even i don't think they're stupid enough to try to sell that moron's NBC pablum to us. My guess is, they'll lay low until someone forms a coalition, and then it's back to telling us that Palestinians deserve to die because Tel aviv has a fun night life.
