Berri Calls for Cancelling Oslo Accords
Local Editor
Speaker Nabih Berri Tuesday called for annulling the Oslo accords in light of US President Donald Trump's decision to recognize al-Quds [Jerusalem] as the "Israeli" entity's so-called capital.
Berri, who was speaking during the 13th session of the Parliamentary Union of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation member states in Tehran, also renewed his calls to move embassies of Muslim-majority states from Washington "and to boycott the Trump administration until they reverse the decision on ‘Jerusalem' [al-Quds]."
Berri arrived in Iran Monday afternoon as part of a Lebanese delegation to participate in the conference.
Trump's December announcement that the US would recognize al-Quds as the so-called capital of the "Israeli" entity and move its embassy to the occupied city was a reversal of longstanding US policy and a blow to efforts towards the so-called two-state solution.
"The Oslo accords should be annulled and abandoned," Berri said. He said that the resistance among the Palestinian people should be supported until a Palestinian state with al-Quds as its so-called capital is established.
The Oslo accords were signed in the mid-1990s between the "Israeli" entity and the Palestine Liberation Organization and were the foundation of a so-called "peace" process that has been in a stalemate for years.
