(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Responding to the Israeli security cabinet's decision to grant 700 building permits to Palestinians in Israeli-controlled Area C of the West Bank, PA Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said the division of the West Bank, under the terms of the Oslo Accords, is no longer relevant.
