Limor Son Har-Melech, a member of the Knesset representing the Otzma Yehudit party, introduced a significant legislative proposal on Wednesday. The bill was submitted immediately upon the opening of the 26th Knesset session. Its primary objective is to repeal the Oslo Accords, the Hebron Agreement, and the Wye River Memorandum. Furthermore, the legislation seeks to reclaim territories that were transferred under the terms of those historical agreements.
The proposed law is designed to dismantle the legal framework that allowed for the implementation of the agreements between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. By doing so, the bill creates a direct political test for all parties in the legislature. They will be required to vote on the measure, thereby clarifying their stance on the legal status of the West Bank.
Under the terms of the draft, all agreements signed within the Oslo process and any subsequent related accords would be formally annulled. Once passed, these agreements would no longer bind the State of Israel. The bill also mandates that the state restore the pre-agreement status quo. This includes the physical reclamation of territories handed over previously and the repeal of domestic legislation that enabled the original implementation.
The introduction of this bill is expected to generate significant diplomatic and political controversy. This is particularly true among political parties that have publicly declared opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state. However, many of these parties have not necessarily supported the formal repeal of the Oslo Accords. Son Har-Melech aims to force these groups to make a definitive parliamentary decision on the matter.
The explanatory notes accompanying the bill argue that more than three decades have passed since the original signing of the Oslo Accords. The notes cite thousands of victims of terrorism and the events of the October 7 attacks as justification for the move. Son Har-Melech stated that the time has come to repeal the agreements and reclaim the territories.
"Thirty-three years of bloodshed, thousands murdered, countless terror attacks, and the Simchat Torah massacre should have been enough for everyone to understand: the Oslo disaster must end," Son Har-Melech stated. She emphasized that the bill is intended to compel parties to clarify their position regarding the continued existence of the agreements.
The lawmaker noted that the bill will be a critical issue for any future coalition government in Israel. "Anyone who declares opposition to a Palestinian state, anyone who speaks about sovereignty and Israel's security, will have to decide whether they continue to keep alive the bloody agreements that brought this disaster upon us, or join us in historical rectification," she added.
Son Har-Melech expressed her determination to advance the proposal, even if it does not pass on its first attempt. "The era of empty declarations is over. It is time to repeal the Oslo Accords, dismantle the infrastructure for establishing a terror state in the heart of our land, and restore Israeli sovereignty to all parts of the homeland. We will put this bill to the test time and again, until this historical injustice is corrected," she said.
This new proposal renews a legislative initiative previously introduced by Son Har-Melech. In May 2026, discussions regarding a bill to repeal the Oslo Accords were postponed at the Ministerial Committee for Legislation. The postponement occurred at the request of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The lawmaker is now seeking to advance the move once again in the newly convened 26th Knesset.
