Palestinian president<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/israel-tightens-law-on-control-over-jerusalem-28369"> Mahmud Abbas accused Israel </a>of &quot;ending the Oslo peace accord&quot;&nbsp;while lashing out at President Trump declaring the US president&#39;s decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was&nbsp;a &quot;slap of the century&quot;.

&quot;The deal<a href="http://www.wionews.com/world/palestine-recalls-its-ambassador-to-us-over-jerusalem-crisis-28202"> of the century is the slap of the century </a>and we will not accept it,&quot; Abbas said, adding,&quot;We said &#39;no&#39; to Trump, we will not accept your project.&quot;

The Palestinian president said that Isreal &quot;ended&quot;&nbsp;the Oslo accord signed in Washinton in 1993. The accord was first signed in Washinton between Israel and &nbsp;Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and then the Oslo II accord was signed in Egypt.

The Oslo accord was an interim structure to oversee administration and security in those areas with the hope that in time the Palestinian self-authority and Israeli withdrawal would boost mutual trust to settle other contentious issues including the status of Jerusalem, the refugee crisis and Israeli settlements.

The Oslo accord aimed to create Palestinian authority over some parts of West Bank and Gaza Strip. The accord was brokered by President Clinton with Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat shaking hands at the White House gardens. The peace process, however, faltered after Rabin was assassinated in 1995.

&quot;I am saying that Oslo, there is no Oslo,&quot; Abbas said.&nbsp;

&quot;Israel ended Oslo,&quot; Abbas added. The Palestinian president said a meeting needed to be held on how to now go forward on the&nbsp;issue.

The Palestinian president said that Isreal "ended" the Oslo accord signed in Washinton in 1993.

Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas accused Israel of "ending the Oslo peace accord" while lashing out at President Trump declaring the US president's decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was a "slap of the century". "The deal of the century is the slap of the century and we will not accept it," Abbas said, adding,"We said 'no' to Trump, we will not accept your project." The Palestinian president said that Isreal "ended" the Oslo accord signed in Washinton in 1993. The accord was first signed in Washinton between Israel and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and then the Oslo II accord was signed in Egypt. The Oslo accord was an interim structure to oversee administration and security in those areas with the hope that in time the Palestinian self-authority and Israeli withdrawal would boost mutual trust to settle other contentious issues including the status of Jerusalem, the refugee crisis and Israeli settlements.

Jerusalem status: Deal of the century is the 'slap' of the century, says Abbas

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas arrived in New Delhi on Sunday&nbsp;on a four-day visit during which he will hold extensive talks with Prime Minister Narendra Modi on key bilateral, regional and international issues, including the Middle East peace process.

Ahead of Abbas&#39; visit, India reiterated its &quot;political support&quot; to the Palestinian cause and had said it continued to assist developmental projects there.

The visit will provide an opportunity for reviewing the entire gamut of bilateral relations, the Middle East peace process, and regional and international issues, external affairs ministry said.

Several MoUs on cooperation in various areas are also expected to be signed during the visit, the ministry added.

A delegation-level discussion between President Abbas and Prime Minister Modi will be held on May 16.

&quot;India and Palestine enjoy historically close and friendly ties. Apart from the political support to the Palestinian cause, India continues to support developmental projects in Palestine by extending technical and financial assistance,&quot; the ministry had said in a release on Saturday.&nbsp;

The statement assumes significance given that there have been commentaries on the increasing proximity between the Modi government and Israel which may have a bearing on New Delhi&#39;s relations with Palestine.

In July, Modi will travel to Israel, the first Indian prime minister to do so.

During his trip to India, Abbas will visit C-DAC (the Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) in Noida tomorrow to forge cooperation between Palestine-India Techno Park, being built by India in Palestine, and the Indian IT industry.
