RAMALLAH, Saturday, July 27, 2019 (WAFA) - The committee charged with implementing the leadership‘s decision to stop all agreements signed with Israel will meet today or tomorrow, today said Ahmad Majdalani, member of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO).

He told Voice of Palestine radio that the committee would be composed of members of the PLO’s Executive Committee, Fatah’s Central Committee and the government and it will draw up concrete mechanisms with a specific timeline for the implementation of the leadership’s decision.

Majdalani said that the committee is of a specialized nature and everyone in it is an expert in his field, adding that the government will have the bigger burden in the implementation of the most important part of this decision and what is related to the economic dimension.

He stressed that the decision taken by the leadership establishes for a new stage and must be built on in drawing up strategies for the gradual disengagement with the occupation, adding: "We are at a new stage that also requires from us unity of position and national line, which means ending the division.”

The PLO official called on Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip since the bloody intra-Palestinian division in 2007, to be specific regarding its position from the great challenge facing the leadership and to translate it into clear steps to build on this position.

The leadership decided on Thursday evening in an urgent meeting held at the presidential headquarters in Ramallah and chaired by President Mahmoud Abbas to suspend the agreements signed with Israel and to form a committee to implement this, pursuant to the decision of the Palestinian Central Council.

The decision was made in light of Israel’s demolition of dozens of Palestinian homes in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Sur Baher last week, some built in areas under full Palestinian control as classified in the 1993 Palestinian-Israeli Oslo accords.
