A high-level security source in the Palestinian Authority told Al-Jazeera that the authority officially informed Israel to stop working in security coordination with it, and that the Palestinian security services withdrew their patrols from areas under joint administration under the peace agreements signed with the Israeli side.

The source indicated that the authority informed the Israeli side of its decision through the Palestinian military association, and that all Palestinian security patrols were withdrawn in the areas of north and east of occupied Jerusalem.

Anatolia news agency quoted eyewitnesses as saying that the Palestinian security forces withdrew from the towns of Bedou, Qatana and Beit Iksa, northwest of Jerusalem, and from the areas of Al-Eizariya and Abu Dis, east of the city.

These developments came after a meeting that Palestinian Prime Minister Muhammad Shtayyeh held with the leaders of the security services, in which he discussed the mechanisms for implementing the decisions of the leadership and President Mahmoud Abbas regarding the relationship with Israel and the United States and stopping all forms of communication with both sides, against the background of the Israeli plan to annex parts of the West Bank.

Shtayyeh announced Thursday that the decision to suspend agreements with Israel "has become effective and official Palestinian institutions have begun to implement it."

This came during his meeting with the United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nikolai Mladenov in Ramallah, according to a statement issued by the office of the Palestinian Prime Minister.

In the same context, Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization, Saeb Erekat, called on Arab countries to reconsider their relations with the United States and Israel in support of the Palestinians.

He said in an interview with Al-Jazeera on the "scenarios" program that any Arab normalization with Israel at this time is a "stab in the Palestinian back."

Jordan warns Israel

On the other hand, Jordanian Prime Minister Omar Al-Razzaz warned that his country would not accept unilateral Israeli measures to annex Palestinian lands.

He said in an interview with Jordan News Agency that Jordan would be obliged to reconsider the relationship with Israel if it took this step.

An American message to Netanyahu

Meanwhile, 18 Democrats in the US Senate sent a letter to both Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his partner in the unity government, Benny Gantz, in which they expressed their opposition to Israel's unilateral plans to annex parts of the West Bank.

In the letter, lawmakers expressed concern about these plans and said they would not support them because they undermined efforts to find a lasting peace agreement through negotiations.

Representatives noted that such a step would represent a retreat from decades of mutual understanding between the United States, Israel, the Palestinians and the international community, and they considered that it would "affect the future of Israel and threaten its security and democracy", as they put it.

And Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas announced last Tuesday that Palestine and the Palestine Liberation Organization have become dissolved from all agreements and understandings with the American and Israeli governments, and from all their obligations, including security.

This position came in protest of the Israeli threats to annex parts of the Palestinian territories occupied in 1967.

According to the second Oslo Agreement (in 1995), the Palestinian territories (in the occupied West Bank) were divided into three areas A, B and C.

Areas A represents 18% of the West Bank, and is controlled by the Palestinian Authority, in security and administration.

As for Areas B, they represent 21% of the West Bank and are subject to Israeli civil and security management.

Area C represents 61% of the area of ​​the West Bank and is subject to Israeli security and administrative control, which requires the approval of the occupation authorities on any Palestinian projects or measures in them.
