MAJOR PLO VIOLATIONS OF THE OSLO ACCORDS(Communicated by the Government Press Office)The following list delineates 10 of the most egregious PLO violations of the Oslo Accords. The list is neither comprehensive nor exhaustive; rather, its focus is on infractions Israel deems most serious.1. Failure to Change the PLO Covenant The PLO was obligated to amend the clauses in the Palestinian National Covenant which called for the destruction of Israel no later than 7 May 1996 (Article XXXII (9)). On 24 April 1996, the PLO's Palestinian National Covenant (PNC) met and approved such an amendment in principle, yet "the vote did not actually change the Covenant, but gave authority to a PNC legal committee to do so or to draw up a completely new charter within six months." (Jerusalem Post, 25 April 1996) Six months have passed, and no such changes have been made, nor has the PLO specified which particular articles will be changed or when the changes will go into effect. By leaving the Covenant intact, the PLO sends a clear message that it has not renounced violence nor accepted Israel's right to exist.2. Incitement to Violence Against Israel The Palestinian Authority (PA) leadership is obligated to refrain from incitement to violence, as part of their commitment to foster mutual understanding and to combat terrorism(Article XXII). Nonetheless, PA Chairman Yasser Arafat has repeatedly called for jihad (holy war) against Israel, praised prominent terrorists such as Yihya Ayyash "the Engineer" and encouraged acts of violence against Israelis. On 21 October 1996, Arafat met with a delegation of Hebron Arab notables and, in response to their complaints about the presence of Jewish settlers in the city, he rebuked them, saying, "What? Have you run out of stones in Hebron?" (Voice of Israel, 22 October 1996) Previously, on 6 October 1996, Arafat called Israel a "demon" and urged Arabs to use "all means" at their disposal to fight Israel. (New York Times, 7 August 1996) Speaking before Palestinian forces in Gaza on 24 September 1996, Arafat said, "They will fight for Allah, and they will kill and be killed... Palestine is our land and Jerusalem is our capital."(Ma'ariv, 4 October 1996) Incitement by Arafat and other senior PA officials encourages violence and undermines attempts to foster peace and mutual understanding.3. Opening Fire on Israeli Forces In September 1996, Palestinian policemen opened fire on Israeli soldiers and civilians during the disturbances in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, resulting in the deaths of 15 Israelis. The PA leadership actively instigated the rioting and took no steps to halt the armed attacks by PA police against Israeli forces. This was the most grievous violation of the Oslo Accords to date by the Palestinians. As Joel Singer, legal advisor to Prime Ministers Rabin and Peres and one of the chief architects of the Oslo Accords, put it, "The Palestinian policemen committed a very, very serious violation of the one of the basic principles in the agreement with Israel. Nothing can justify such behavior." (Near East Report, 21 October 1996) The Accords require that the Palestinian police act to prevent violence and cooperate with Israeli security forces (see, for example, Annex I, Article II). The conceptual foundation of the Oslo Accords is the rejection of violence and force as tools in the conduct of bilateral relations. By initiating violence against Israelis, the PA has violated a cornerstone of the agreement.4. Failure to Confiscate Illegal Arms and Disarm and Disband Militias The PA is obligated to disarm and disband all militias operating in the autonomous areas and to confiscate all unlicensed weapons (Article XIV; and Annex I, Articles II(1) and XI). Nevertheless, five militias Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the PFLP, the DFLP and Fatah continue to remain armed, and the PA has refused to disarm them. The PA has failed to undertake a systematic crackdown on illegal weapons, and has confiscated just a few hundred of the tens of thousands of weapons circulating in the autonomous areas. The PA's violation of these provisions of the accord have allowed terror groups to remain active and well-armed and to carry out deadly attacks against Israelis.5. Failure to Extradite Suspected Terrorists to Israel The PA is required to turn over for trial all suspects whose extradition is requested by Israel (Annex IV, Article II (7)), yet they have not extradited any of the 19 terror suspects whom Israel has sought for crimes such as murder and attempted murder. By failing to turn over wanted suspects to Israel, the PA has allowed terrorists to go unpunished, thereby encouraging others to carry out attacks in the knowledge that they will not have to answer for their actions.6. Opening PA Offices in Jerusalem The PA is required to locate all offices and ministries exclusively in areas under its jurisdiction(Article I (7)). Nevertheless, the PA has violated this provision by maintaining governmental offices such as the Orient House in Jerusalem. The PA Ministry of Religious Affairs and the PA Office of the Mufti are both located in Jerusalem, and several other PA offices operate in other sections of the city. In addition, Palestinian policemen operate in Jerusalem in contravention of the agreements. They have been involved in activities such as kidnapping, torturing and killing human-rights activists, journalists and suspected collaborators with Israel and punishing perpetrators of "morals crimes."7. Recruiting Terrorists to Serve in the Palestinian Police The PA is required to submit a list of all potential police recruits to Israel for approval (Annex I, Article IV (4)) to forestall the possibility that members of terrorist groups will join the PA security services. The PA has consistently failed to provide comprehensive listings of potential recruits to Israel and has proceeded to recruit policemen without Israeli consent. In several instances, the PA has even drafted wanted terrorists to serve in its security forces. Abd al-Majid Doudin, who helped plan the suicide bombing in Jerusalem on 21 August 1995, was convicted and sentenced by a PA court to 12 years imprisonment, but was subsequently freed and hired by the Palestinian police in Jericho. Similarly, Rajah and Amr Abu-Sita, who murdered Uri Megidish on 8 March 1993, and whose extradition was requested by Israel, were drafted to serve in the PA police in Gaza. (Yediot Ahronot, 22 June 1994) Such steps by the PA endanger the prospects for cooperation between Israeli and Palestinian security forces and pose a security threat by providing terrorists with access to weapons and intelligence information.8. Exceeding the Limit on the Number of Palestinian Police* Under the Gaza-Jericho accord of May 1994, the PA was permitted to deploy a total of 9,000 policemen (Annex I, Article III (3)), but in actuality the number of Palestinian policemen was nearly 20,000. Under Oslo-II, the PA may deploy up to 24,000 policemen in Areas A and B, including Gaza, (Annex I, Article IV (3)), yet they have exceeded this figure by at least 10,000. Reports in late September 1996 suggest that the PA security forces may exceed 50,000 men.9. Abuse of Human Rights and the Rule of Law The PA is obligated to conduct its affairs "with due regard to internationally-accepted norms and principles of human rights and the rule of law" (Article XIX). As various international human rights groups, such as Amnesty and Middle East Watch have pointed-out, the PA security forces have systematically utilized arbitrary arrests, detention and torture. Human rights activists, such as Bassam Eid, have been abducted by PA security agents, and freedom of the press has been virtually eliminated, with no criticism of the regime tolerated in the Palestinian media.10. Conduct of Foreign Relations The agreements explicitly forbid the PA from conducting foreign relations, allowing instead the PLO to conduct relations on the PA's behalf for a limited set of purposes, such as concluding economic and cultural agreements (Article IX). Nevertheless, the PA has violated this provision and engaged repeatedly in diplomacy on the bilateral, multilateral (i.e. Arab League) and international (i.e. United Nations) levels.* Clarification: Para. 8 should be amended as follows:The size of the Palestinian Police - under the terms of the Interim Agreement, the Palestinian Police at this stage should comprise no more than 24,000 policemen (a further 6,000 may be recruited at a later stage). Despite this, in practice the Palestinian Police consists of over 28,000 policemen. In addition, the Agreement provides that every candidate for recruitment must be notified to Israel, which has the right to object. In practice, only 18,000 Palestinian policemen have been notified to and approved by Israel. In other words, the employment of over 10,000 policemen is in breach of the Agreement.

The details below are “chapter and verse” from Chapter 5, Terms of Service of Soldiers, TA Regulations 1978: - TA Regs 5/5-3 Amdt 37 (2013).In 2014 the Territorial Army was renamed the Army Reserve. TA Regs have no doubt been amended to reflect this change, but the revised document does not appear to be in the public domain. I would not expect the Paragraphs pertaining to transfer to SAS(V) to have changed that much, if at all. So the procedure in 2013 was as follows:Transfer to SAS(V)5.166. Introduction. The Special Air Service (Volunteers) (SAS(V)) consists of 21 and 23 SAS(V) Regiments. SAS(V) Regiments are located throughout Great Britain and unit contact details are given at Appx 1 to Annex M/5. Soldiers wishing to transfer to the SAS(V) are required to undertake and pass a rigorous selection procedure. Employment opportunities also exist for support staff in various Corps and trades. Volunteers for these positions are not subject to SAS(V) selection. A list of the Corps and trade groups is given at Annex M/5.5.167. Selection Volunteers. Volunteers for SAS(V) selection are to apply through the chain of command. Parent units are to contact the PSAO (Permanent Staff Administration Officer) of the designated SAS(V) unit as shown at Appx 1 to Annex M/5.5.168. Support Staff Volunteers. Support staff volunteering to join SAS(V) are to apply through the chain of command. Parent units are to contact the Adjutant of the designated SAS(V) unit as shown at Appx 1 to Annex M/5. Appointments will be limited to three years, after which personnel are expected to return to their original units or voluntarily join another unit / transfer to the Unposted List.5.169. Medical - Selection Volunteers. Volunteers for SAS (V) selection must meet the medical standards laid down in PAP 10 (Pulhheems Administrative Pamphlet 2010) .5.170. Medical - Support Staff Volunteers. Minimum medical classifications are required as appropriate for the intended position.5.171. Military Conduct. Soldiers must have a minimum military conduct assessment of “Very Good” as defined by Queens’ Regulations (Army) para 9.457, but deserving cases, where soldiers qualify only for an assessment of “Satisfactory”, may be considered on its merits. The final arbitration in such cases rests with either CO 21 or 23 SAS(V).5.172. Rank. Regardless of the rank held with a soldier’s parent unit, upon successful completion of the SAS(V) selection procedure, volunteers will be required to revert to the rank of Trooper. Support staff will be accepted for service in their current rank subject to establishment vacancies.5.173. Administration.a. Volunteers for SAS(V) Selection. During the selection process, the costs of training a volunteer fall to 21 or 23 SAS(V) - the receiving unit. Therefore, once a volunteer is accepted on SAS(V) selection the following action is to be taken:(1) After a candidate has successfully completed his first selection weekend, the donor unit and receiving unit are to agree a date on which the volunteer is to be taken on strength by the receiving unit.(2) The receiving unit is to inform MS [Reserves] APC (Manning Support Army Personnel Centre) and request that an assignment order is issued, assigning the volunteer to the receiving unit on the date agreed.(3) On receipt of the assignment order, the donor unit is to strike the soldier off of strength to the receiving unit, retaining his documents, less F Med 4 (Form, Medical Number 4), which is to be sent to the receiving unit without delay.(4) The donor unit is to complete AF (Army Form) E 7547 to Part C and despatch it to the receiving unit.5.163b. Soldiers Withdrawing from SAS(V) Selection. In some cases, soldiers may either be RTU (Returned to Unit) or withdraw voluntarily from selection. In such cases the following action will occur:(1) The receiving unit will notify the donor unit that the volunteer has been withdrawn from SAS(V) selection and agree a date on which the individual is to return to his parent unit.(2) The receiving unit is to inform MS [Reserves] APC and request that an assignment order is issued, returning the individual to the donor unit on the date agreed.(3) On receipt of the assignment order, both units are to take the appropriate Part 2 Order action.(4) The receiving unit is to complete AF E 7547 and despatch it to the donor unit.c. Successful Completion of SAS(V) Selection. Following the successful completion of the SAS(V) selection process the following action will occur:(1) The receiving unit is to inform the donor unit and MS [Reserves] APC.(2) The receiving unit will complete AF E 7547, Part D submitting it to MS [Reserves] APC to affect the individual’s transfer to the SAS(V).d. Support Staff. Applications for transfer of volunteers for employment in support staff are to be in accordance with normal procedures for voluntary assignment.5.174. Equal Opportunities. In accordance with current Government policy on the employment of women in the Armed Forces, service in the SAS(V) is only open to male volunteers, however appointments do exist throughout the UKSF(R) (United Kingdom Special Forces) for female volunteers in the support role.PS. I have edited to answer to expand the acronyms that would not be familiar to those not serving in Her Majesty’s Armed Forces who may take the time to read this.
