RE: Who are the Palestinians? Part 2
⁜→ P F Tinmore, et al,
Now you are just being ridiculous. In a childlike way, you might be right. There are no agreements on the borders. They are a matter under the Permanent Status of Negotiations.
(COMMENT)Deflection. Neither the armistice nor Oslo were land/border treaties.
The Oslo Accords were the framework which, as one of the outcomes, resulted in the Exchange of Letters between PM Rabin and Chairman Arafat and the recognitions:
◈ The PLO recognizes the right of the State of Israel to exist in peace and security.
◈ The PLO encourages and calls upon the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to take part in the steps leading to the normalization of life, rejecting violence and terrorism,
◈ The PLO affirms that those articles of the Palestinian Covenant which deny Israel's right to exist, and the provisions of the Covenant which are inconsistent with the commitments of this letter are now inoperative and no longer valid.
◈ Israel has decided to recognize the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people and commence negotiations with the PLO within the Middle East peace process.
The Armistice Agreements are the only thing that the Arab Palestinians and the PLO have on which to base their demand by the Negotiation Affairs Department (NAD):
◈ "The 1967 border, which is defined as the 1949 Armistice Line along with all legal modification thereto up to June 4th 1967, is the internationally-recognized border between Israel and the occupied State of Palestine." Quote from the NAD
The Oslo Accords established the Areas ("A" • "B" • "C") (among other things), clearly mapped-out as areas of control.
Most Respectfully,
RMilitary control, i.e. occupation not sovereignty.The Oslo Accords established the Areas ("A" • "B" • "C") (among other things), clearly mapped-out as areas of control.
A sovereign nation can establish military control anywhere in its country.
Autonomous region does do not equal abandonment of sovereignty.
