<p>RAMALLAH (Ma’an) &#8212; The village of Nabi Saleh near Ramallah held a mock funeral for the Oslo Accords as part of its weekly demonstration on Friday, a Ma&#8217;an correspondent said.</p>
<p>Demonstrations began after Friday prayers as protesters chanted slogans against the Israeli occupation and a likely US veto of the UN bid.</p>
<p>Participants waved flags with the logo of &#8220;The state of Palestine 194&#8221; as they marched through the village carrying a black coffin with the words &#8220;Oslo Accords&#8221; written on it.</p>
<p>The protesters were met by Israeli forces who fired tear gas and sound grenades at the rally.</p>
<p>The activities were organized as part of the upcoming anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accords on Sept. 13 1993, a statement from the popular resistance movement said.</p>
<p>Israel has killed the accords, it added, saying that they were now just &#8220;ink on paper.&#8221;</p>
<p>The movement called on the international community to support the Palestinian people and back the UN bid for statehood.</p>
<p>Under the 1995 Oslo agreement, Israeli and Palestinian negotiators outlined a plan for Palestinian autonomy allowing the Palestinian Authority administrative and security control of around 17.2 percent of the West Bank, Area A.</p>
<p>The rest of the West Bank and Gaza Strip remained under Israeli military occupation.</p>
<p>The interim deal was intended to lead to a final status agreement by 1999, but a permanent solution was never reached and frequent incursions by the Israeli army into Area A have undermined the agreement.</p>
