Israel Builds Army Base in Jenin, Violating 1990s Pact with Palestinians
Israel has begun constructing an army base in Jenin, a move critics say violates the Oslo Accords and aims to protect increased settlement activity near Palestinian population centers.
Israel is building a permanent army base in the West Bank city of Jenin, drawing criticism for flouting the 1990s Oslo Accords. According to critics, the base would enable the Israeli military to safeguard rising settlement activity in areas adjacent to Palestinian civilian centers. The Oslo agreements, signed in 1993, prohibit the establishment of new military installations in such territories. This development adds to the growing tensions in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which has escalated in recent years. No official comment from Israeli authorities has been released on the matter.
