The department informed the Congress that both Plo and PA PLO Commitment Commitment Complexes Act 1989 (Plocca) and MeepCA are not in compliance with their commitments. This cited several violations, including supporting action in international organizations that go against the prior commitments of 242 and 338 for the proposals of the United Nations Security Council, and internationally fabrication with Israel through bodies such as the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the International Court of Justice (ICJ).Other quoted violations continue to support terrorism, including “violence (especially in textbooks), and providing Palestinian terrorists and their families in support of terrorism.”The State Department said, “It is in our national security interests to give results and be accountable to PLO and PA not to comply with their commitments and reduce the possibilities for peace.”This step has increased tension in the region, as Israel has continued its about 22 months long war in Gaza.
