Oslo Accords serve only Israel, Palestinian groups say

Historic agreement aimed to end years of conflict, establish a temporary Palestinian Authority and pave way for creation of an independent Palestinian state

GAZA, Palestine – On the 30th anniversary of first Oslo Accord, Palestinian groups gathered in Gaza called for the rejection of this agreement.

The first Oslo Accord was signed on September 13, 1993, by Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel.

Hundreds of Palestinians, including leaders of resistance groups in Gaza, participated in the event, waving their national flags, and displaying banners in support of the ongoing resistance against Israel.

They emphasized that the Oslo Accords were deemed to “only serve Israel’s interests.”

The historic agreement aimed to end years of conflict, establish a temporary Palestinian Authority. It also paved the way for the creation of an independent Palestinian state by 1999.

It was aimed to achieve a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace between the parties involved.

The special day also coincided with the 18th anniversary of Israel’s withdrawal from the Gaza Strip in 2005.

The spokesperson for the “Joint Chamber of Palestinian Resistance Groups” celebrated Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza.

Highlighting the vitality of Palestinian resistance, the spokesperson also made it clear that the resistance would only cease when the enemy was expelled from their lands.

On September 12, 2005, under the leadership of then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Israel executed a “unilateral disengagement plan,” withdrawing settlers and armed forces from the Gaza Strip.
