Hassan Asfour was a close aide to Mahmoud Abbas while
he was in Tunis and was appointed by Abbas to participate
in the secret Oslo talks from beginning to end. Afterward,
he was a negotiator in the Cairo talks which concluded
the Cairo Agreement known as Oslo II, was a PA minister
and member of the Palestinian Legislative Council, and is
now the editor of AMAD, a Palestinian electronic media
political site.
Given Israel's failure to comply with the Oslo Accords and wars waged against Gaza,
it is time for the Palestinian leadership to withdraw from the accords and declare the
State of Palestine.
