Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas Tells U.N. General Assembly. He Will No Longer Observe Oslo Accords Wednesday Sep 30,2015

 

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Wednesday Sep 30,2015 declared that he will no longer be bound by the 1993 Oslo Accords between Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories, citing Israel's failure to uphold its obligations under the peace agreement.
 "Our patience for a long time has come to an end," Abbas told the U.N. General Assembly.
"Israel has left us no choice but to insist that we will not remain the only ones committed to the implementation of those agreements while Israel continuously violates them."

The Oslo Accords have been lapsed since the Israeli government's failure to withdraw its citizens by 1998, and both parties have recognized there will ultimately need to be a new agreement to achieve a two-state solution.
