All these commitments that they undertook at Wye, we would like to see complied with, we will, of course, make sure that they comply with them, just as we saw today. We stood firm.

There was a vote, there's no question about that. There was a raising of hands, which is an accepted form of voting, and obviously there was a large majority of not unanimity in that vote. We assume that all the members who are voting are indeed members of the Palestine National Council, and that is what the requirement was according to the Wye agreement.\"\u003cbr/\u003eSUPERCAPTION: David Bar-Illan, Advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu\u003cbr/\u003eAt the Israeli parliament, Knesset members watched with anticipation as the events unfolded on their television screen.\u003cbr/\u003eMany of the delegates at the (P-N-C) meeting in the Gaza Strip were once guerrillas.\u003cbr/\u003eThe basis of the Wye agreement, signed in October, was formed five years ago.\u003cbr/\u003eWithout the Oslo Accords Israel and Palestine would never have agreed to the concessions made at Wye.\u003cbr/\u003eThe architect of the Oslo Accords was then Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres.\u003cbr/\u003eHe reacted to the P-N-C vote with optimism. \u003cbr/\u003eSOUNDBITE: (English)\u003cbr/\u003e\"I do not believe that our relations depend on a piece of paper anyway.
