On May 14, an Israeli ministerial committee will review a bill aimed at revoking the Oslo Accords, the landmark 1993 agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The bill, introduced by Limor Son Har-Melech, Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, argues that the accords have resulted in increased terrorism rather than peace. Har-Melech emphasized the need for a 'national correction' and expressed intentions to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state while encouraging settlement in Areas A and B of the West Bank. The Oslo Accords were signed in Washington on September 13, 1993, with notable figures including Yasser Arafat and former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin present. Concurrently, the US Department of State announced that intensive talks between Israel and Lebanon will take place on May 14 and 15, aimed at advancing peace and addressing the Hezbollah issue. These discussions are part of efforts to restore Lebanese sovereignty and ensure long-term stability in the region.
