Should Israel seek to transfer civil administration of Palestinian territories to an external regional partner?
Avigdor Liberman, chairman of the Yisrael Beytenu party, has presented a new diplomatic plan for the West Bank. The proposal includes nullifying the Oslo Accords and dismantling the Palestinian Authority.
Why it matters
The proposal aims to reshape governance in the region to restore security and prevent Hamas or Islamic Jihad from filling power vacuums. It also aligns with the broader objective of eliminating the military and civilian wings of Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
The proposal outlines a plan for Jordan to manage public order and daily administration in West Bank Areas A and B, while Israel maintains security and territorial contiguity. This plan hinges on the nullification of the Oslo Accords.

Political Context
Critics and opposition parties may argue that nullifying the Oslo Accords risks complete regional instability and violates long-standing international agreements. They could further contend that shifting administrative duties to Jordan without its explicit consent is politically unrealistic.
The proposed changes would represent a significant shift in the regulatory and civil environment for residents in the West Bank. Any implementation of such a plan could drastically alter legal standing, daily administration, and the security landscape for those living in the area.
The takeaway
The plan reflects a desire to fundamentally restructure the administrative governance of the West Bank to prioritize security and territorial control. Readers should monitor future diplomatic discussions to see if this proposal influences official government policy or international negotiations.
