Leaders of the Palestine Liberation Organisation have today decided to stop all forms of security coordination with Israel - a step that could lead to an escalation of tensions . Three members of the Palestinian Central Council ( PCC ) , the second highest Palestinian decision-making body , said the decision was taken during a two-day meeting that ended today . 'The council decided to cease all forms of security coordination with Israel , ' a PLO official said . Decision : It is not clear if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will implement today 's resolution by the PLO 's Central Council . A statement issued by the 110-member PCC read : 'Security coordination in all its forms with the authority of the Israeli occupation will be stopped in the light of its ( Israel 's ) non-compliance with the agreements signed between the two sides . ' It said Israel 'should shoulder all its responsibilities towards the Palestinian people in the occupied state of Palestine as an occupation authority according to international law ' . The decision is certain to provoke Israel , which sees security coordination as vital to maintain calm in the West Bank . Palestinian security forces also require Israeli permission to send patrols into some areas of the West Bank to preserve law and order . It is not clear if Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas will implement the resolution by the PCC . Set up under the 1993 Oslo autonomy accords which founded the Palestinian Authority , the coordination involves the sharing of intelligence and is considered crucial for Israel to keep tabs on Islamist movement Hamas and its West Bank members . Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the PCC move . The PCC statement also said the United Nations Security Council should 'determine a deadline to end the Israeli occupation and ensure that the state of Palestine is enabled to practice its sovereignty on its land occupied since 1967 , including its capital east Jerusalem ' . A partial view of the Israeli settlement of Qadumim ( bottom ) and the Palestinian village of Jit ( above R ) , in the Israeli-occupied West Bank near Nablus . It added : 'The concept of a Jewish state is rejected and also of a ( Palestinian ) state with provisional borders is rejected . 'Any formula that will keep an Israeli military or settler presence on any part of the land of the state of Palestine is rejected . ' The Palestinians submitted a UN Security Council resolution in December - which was voted down - calling for an end to Israel 's occupation of the West Bank within two years . In January , President Abbas sought membership in the International Criminal Court , paving the way for possible war crimes charges against Israel . In response , Israel withheld tax transfers to the Palestinian Authority . Activists in Abbas ' Fatah movement countered by enforcing a boycott of goods made by Israeli food companies . Despite the tensions , security coordination between Abbas ' forces and Israeli troops has continued in the West Bank .
