The Palestinian leadership said that it would suspend security co-operation with Israel on Thursday night.
The Palestinian Liberation Organisation, announced the decision as a response to “ongoing Israeli violations and crimes against the people of Palestine,” after a two day meeting in Ramallah, reports the Financial Times.
The decision comes after, Israel withheld its payment of Palestinian tax revenues for the third consecutive month, in retaliation to the Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas’s decision to join the International Criminal Court last year.
The PLO said the action was a response to “Israel’s systematic and ongoing non-compliance with its obligations under signed agreements, including its daily military raids throughout the state of Palestine, attacks against our civilians and properties.”
