Palestinian Authority Declares End to Division of West Bank according to Oslo Accords
(Ha'aretz) Jack Khoury - The Palestinian Authority announced over the weekend that it has decided to cancel the division of the West Bank into Areas A, B and C according to the Oslo Accords the PLO had signed with Israel in 1993 and 1995. From now on, the PA will treat all of the West Bank as Palestinian territory. The Oslo Accords divided the West Bank into three parts: Area A, which includes all large Palestinian cities, is under full PA control; Area B is under PA civilian control and Israeli security control; and Area C is controlled by Israel and is home to Israeli communities.
