Tel Aviv, May 10, 2026 — An Israeli ministerial committee is set to review a bill proposed to annul the 1993 Oslo Accords and block the creation of a Palestinian state, according to reports citing Anadolu and ANI.
The proposal, filed by Knesset Deputy Speaker Limor Son Har‑Melech, would repeal the Oslo framework and encourage Israeli settlement in Areas A and B of the West Bank — territories currently under varying degrees of Palestinian Authority administration. Har‑Melech has criticised the accords as having produced ‘‘terror instead of peace’’ and described the bill as an essential first step toward what she called a ‘‘national correction.’’
The Oslo Accords, formally titled the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self‑Government Arrangements, were signed in Washington on September 13, 1993, between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. The signing ceremony included PLO leader Yasser Arafat, then‑Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, and was hosted by US President Bill Clinton.
Separately, the US State Department announced that Washington will facilitate intensive talks between Israeli and Lebanese officials on May 14–15. The sessions are intended to build on an April 23 round of negotiations and aim to advance a comprehensive peace and security framework, including border delineation, measures to address Hezbollah, and steps to restore Lebanese state authority across its territory.
State Department spokesperson Thomas Pigott said the talks will include detailed discussions on security arrangements, humanitarian assistance and reconstruction support for Lebanon, with the stated goal of creating conditions for long‑term stability and preventing militant groups from further entrenching themselves.
The administration framed the negotiations as an effort to move beyond past approaches that, it says, allowed armed groups to gain strength and undermine Lebanese sovereignty while threatening Israel’s northern border.
