Foreword – The PLO and PA Political Warfare and Israel’s Response | Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs

This Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs’ policy compendium exposes, explores, and assesses how the three-decade Oslo Accords’ diplomatic process, particularly Israel’s concessionary approach and policy passivity towards PLO and PA financial incentivization of terror, corruption, and international defamation of Israel’s legal and diplomatic rights, have enabled the PLO-PA to assault Israel and defame its international standing. Simultaneously, the PLO’s cooption of Israel’s legitimacy has enhanced its international profile and standing as a UN non-member observer state. This research and policy initiative recommends a more effective pathway for Israel to correct past policy errors, and hold the PA accountable, to achieve a more secure and viable approach to Israel-PA relations.
