Country: occupied Palestinian territory Source: UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Please refer to the attached file. Introduction As the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee (AHLC) marks the 30-year anniversary of the Oslo Accords, it is incumbent upon the parties, the Government of Israel (GoI), the Palestinian Authority (PA) and members of the International Community who have supported the Oslo process and the Palestinian state-building agenda over the last decades, to take stock and reflect on the road travelled since Oslo and where we are now. In 2011, nearly twenty years after Oslo, the IMF, World Bank, and the United Nations declared the PA ready for statehood, and the AHLC hailed Palestinian state‐building efforts as “a remarkable international success story.” That legacy is now at grave risk. Key ‘permanent status’ issues in the Oslo Accords remain unresolved and prospects for a negotiated solution remain elusive. The Palestinian state-building project, which has rallied members of the AHLC around a common objective and for which significant political and financial capital has been invested over three decades, faces significant challenges. Escalating violence and attacks in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) , particularly the West Bank, and in Israel, recurrent escalations in the Gaza Strip, ongoing unilateral steps, including settlement advancement on an unprecedented scale, the deepening physical fragmentation of the OPT resulting from settlement advancement, the Palestinian divide, access and movement restrictions and restrictions on land use by Palestinians, particularly in Area C, and evershrinking fiscal space for the PA to meet the needs of Palestinians, are contributing to a downward spiral on the ground, undermining efforts to restore a political horizon. Low levels budget support to the PA and the funding and liquidity crises facing UN humanitarian programmes, such as UNRWA and the World Food Programme, are additional destabilizing factors. More fundamentally, these shifting facts on the ground are presenting a serious challenge to the future viability of the internationally agreed principles for ending the occupation and resolving the conflict. At the same time, the Oslo-era mechanisms and institutional frameworks that could enable the parties to address these and other important issues have atrophied or disappeared. Over the last year and half, UNSCO has sought in its successive reports to the AHLC to document these shifts and propose a way forward. In May 2022, UNSCO described the growing inter-connectedness of the Palestinian and Israeli economies and the need for the parties to update the Paris Protocol and engage one another in establishing a regulatory framework on both sides capable of managing this economic relationship. Our September 2022 report took as a point of departure the 2011 declaration of “ready for statehood” and described the widening gap between, on the one hand, the stalled political track and the negative trajectory on the ground and, on the other hand, the progress in Palestinian state-building achieved since the PA’s founding in 1994. It also described the implications of continuing the current trajectory with respect to access and movement restrictions that limit Palestinian access to land and resources and a fast-growing Palestinian population. Most recently, in May this year, UNSCO outlined how many of these developments have weakened and undermined Palestinian institutions and the consequences for basic service provision to the Palestinian population. This report aims to put these findings in context and chart a way forward.
