Another Free Pass to the Palestinians

(FrontPageMagazine) Rachel Ehrenfeld and Alyssa A. Lappen - The PA has yet to comply with even one agreement they have signed since the Oslo Accord. They have violated the Oslo agreement, Oslo II, and the Roadmap. Each agreement required the PA to disarm its terrorists. From 1993 through September 2000, while the Oslo negotiations were still ongoing, Palestinians killed 256 Israeli civilians and soldiers and wounded thousands more. Since then, 1,086 more people have been killed, and nearly 6,500 were wounded in more than 26,000 Palestinian terror attacks. The Agreed Principles for the Rafah [Border] Crossing, signed on Nov. 15, requires that "a liaison office...will receive real-time video and data feed of the activities at Rafah." But PA Director of Borders and Crossings, Salim Abu Safiyyeh, declared on Nov. 17 "that there won't be any live video streams to the Israeli side via the surveillance cameras installed in Rafah terminal," adding, "even the joint control room will not receive these live feeds, and will be only for the presence of the third party [the EU] that will monitor the borders." If the U.S. is serious about achieving peace in Israel, it should demand that the PA comply with the Rafah agreement as well as all the other agreements it failed to keep.
