Is the Oslo process really over?
The Palestinian Central Council announced the end of security cooperation with Israel, though many are skeptical that the decision will be implemented.
A headline featured on the website of Al-Quds, a Palestinian daily, was very clear: “The decision of the Palestinian Central Council means the end of the Oslo era.” The headline was taken from a quote by council member Mustafa Barghouti of Al-Mubadara Party, following the conclusion of the council's two-day meeting March 5.
But did the Palestinian Central Council really end the 1993 memorandum of understanding between Israel and the PLO, which is commonly referred to as the basis of the Oslo Accord?
