Otzma Yehudit submits bill to repeal Oslo Accords, retake control of Areas A and B

Otzma Yehudit MK Limor Son Har-Melech has introduced a bill upon the 26th Knesset's opening to repeal the Oslo Accords, Hebron Agreement, and Wye River Memorandum, and to regain control of Areas A and B. The bill aims to dismantle the legal framework that facilitated the implementation of these agreements, presenting a political challenge for parties asked to vote on it.

Under the proposal, all agreements signed within the Oslo process and subsequent agreements would be nullified and no longer legally bind Israel. The bill also calls for the restoration of the state's previous status, including the reclaiming of territories handed over under the agreements, and the repeal of laws that enabled their implementation.

This move is expected to cause diplomatic and political controversy, particularly among parties that oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state but do not necessarily support repealing the Oslo Accords. Son Har-Melech hopes that the bill will force these parties into a parliamentary decision on the matter. She emphasized that more than three decades after the Oslo Accords were signed, following thousands of victims of terrorism and the October 7 attacks, it is time to put an end to the Oslo disaster and reclaim the territories handed over.

The bill is intended to compel parties to clarify their stance on the continued existence of the agreements. Son Har-Melech stated that the bill will be presented to any coalition formed in Israel. Any party that opposes a Palestinian state or discusses Israel's sovereignty and security will have to decide whether to continue supporting the flawed agreements or join her in correcting the historical injustice.

She vowed to continue pushing the proposal, regardless of its approval on the first attempt, until the historic mistake is rectified.
