A bill has been introduced in the Knesset by MK Limor Son Har Melech of the Otzma Yehudit party, led by National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir. The proposed legislation aims to nullify agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, specifically the Oslo Accords, the Hebron Agreement, and the Wye River Memorandum. If passed, the bill would invalidate these accords and any legislation enacted for their implementation, effectively returning control of areas transferred to the Palestinian Authority to Israel. Son Har Melech stated the initiative seeks to clarify the stance of Israeli parties on these agreements, arguing it is time to cancel them and reassert Israeli control. This proposal comes as the Knesset begins a new session, following a previous attempt in May that was postponed at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993 and 1995, established a framework for Palestinian self-rule and the creation of the Palestinian Authority, dividing the West Bank into Areas A, B, and C. The 1997 Hebron Agreement outlined special arrangements for Israeli troop redeployment in the city, and the 1998 Wye River Memorandum detailed further steps for redeployment and security coordination. The article clarifies that this is a proposed bill, not yet enacted law, and outlines the four stages required for a bill to become law in Israel: ministerial committee approval, preliminary reading, parliamentary committee review, and three final readings in the Knesset.
