Former Israeli National Security Minister and Knesset Member Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on “X” that members of his Otzma Yehudit party have proposed legislation to annul the Oslo Accords, the Hebron Agreement, and the Wye River Agreement. The proposal aims to roll back these agreements and restore Israeli control over the lands transferred under them.
He tweeted:
Correcting an injustice of many years!
“Together with the members of the Otzma Yehudit faction, I submitted a bill aimed at canceling the Oslo Accords, the Hebron Accords and the Wye Agreement.
According to the proposal, the agreements signed would be completely canceled, and the State of Israel would restore the situation to its previous state, including the return of territories handed over as part of the agreements. In addition, laws enacted with the aim of implementing the agreements will be repealed, and the prime minister will be given the authority to set regulations for its implementation.
The explanatory notes to the bill state that "more than three decades after the beginning of the peace process, the time has come to recognize that these agreements have harmed Israel`s security, claimed thousands of victims, and led to the strengthening of terrorist organizations in the territories of Judea, Samaria and Gaza.
The explanatory notes to the law also state: "The establishment of a Palestinian state in the heart of the Land of Israel will constitute an existential danger to the State of Israel and its citizens, perpetuate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and destabilize the region. It will only be a question of a short time before Hamas takes control of them. These agreements have brought thousands of "peace victims" to the State of Israel.”
