GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The Palestinian committee charged with setting up mechanisms to stop agreements with Israel is working through legal, economic and political tracks to achieve its purpose, a committee member told Al-Monitor on condition of anonymity.
The committee, which comprises 14 Palestinian leaders from the PLO factions, held its first meeting in Ramallah Aug. 3, chaired by President Mahmoud Abbas, to discuss the mechanisms of implementing the Palestinian Authority's (PA) decision taken on July 25 to suspend agreements signed with Israel. This comes in response to Israel demolishing dozens of Palestinian homes in areas under the PA’s administrative control in East Jerusalem on Oct. 22.
