Ramallah, March 6 (RHC)-- The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) has decided to end all security cooperation with Israel, Palestinian officials say. According to reports on Thursday, the Palestinian Central Council (PCC) of the PLO, led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, made the decision to cut all forms of security cooperation with Israel after two-day discussions in Ramallah.

"Security coordination in all its forms with the authority of the Israeli occupation will be stopped in the light of its (Israel's) non-compliance with the agreements signed between the two sides," the PCC, the second highest Palestinian decision-making body, said in a statement.

Tel Aviv "should shoulder all its responsibilities towards the Palestinian people in the occupied state of Palestine as an occupation authority according to international law," the statement read.

The statement also called on the United Nations Security Council to "determine a deadline to end the Israeli occupation and ensure that the state of Palestine is enabled to practice its sovereignty on its land occupied since 1967, including its capital east Jerusalem and, resolve the issue of refugees according to resolution 194."

Resolution 194 was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 11, 1948, near the end of the Arab-Israeli War, calling for a final settlement and the returning of Palestinian refugees to their homes.
