Palestinians: West Bank Areas "A, B, and C No Longer Exist"
(Jerusalem Post) Khaled Abu Toameh - Responding to the Israeli security cabinet's decision to grant 700 building permits to Palestinians in Israeli-controlled Area C of the West Bank, PA Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh said the division of the West Bank, under the terms of the Oslo Accords, is no longer relevant. "The terms A, B and C no longer exist," he said. The Oslo Accords, signed between Israel and the PLO in 1993, divided the West Bank into three administrative divisions: Areas A, B and C. Area A is exclusively administered by the PA; Area B is administered by both the PA and Israel; and Area C is exclusively administered by Israel.
