The Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) has warned Israel against unilateral moves to define permanent borders for the West Bank, stating that it could result in a renewed conflict.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Hanan Ashrawi said,
“We don’t believe unilateral readjustment of borders or crossing points is a solution… It will only create a reality that will backfire in the future.”
Ashrawi went on to add that such moves would “form the basis for a new conflict”.

Ashwari was responding to remarks from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he was examining unilateral moves - comments echoed by Israel's Economics Minister and Jewish Home Chairman Naftali Bennett, who claimed that it was israel's "turn" to make unilateral moves to establish "a demilitarized Palestinian state that recognizes the Jewish state", in a Facebook post on Friday.
