	Palestine Center - The 1998 Wye River Memorandum: An Update
		Wye required Israel to withdraw its forces over a three-month period from an additional 13 percent of the West Bank (see pie chart), with future redeployments to be negotiated in the final status talks.
		The fall of the Netanyahu government in December 1998 caused the PA to await the installation of the new government before resuming pressure for full implementation of Wye.
		The Wye River Memorandum of 23 October 1998 was intended to complete the series of interim arrangements between Israel and the Palestinians prior to the final status negotiations.

	Wye River Memorandum- Status of Implementation Feb
		The Wye River Memorandum, signed in Washington on October 23, 1998, sets out a series of specific obligations of the Israeli and Palestinian sides to be implemented in a phased approach in accordance with a detailed Time Line.
		At the Wye talks it was agreed that the modalities for granting weapons licenses, and the categories of persons to be granted such licenses, would be agreed between the two sides in the Joint Security Committee, as required by the Security Annex of the Interim Agreement.
		In the Wye Memorandum, the Palestinian side undertook to issue a decree prohibiting "all forms of incitement to violence and terror" and to establish a mechanism which would "act systematically against all expressions or threats of violence or terror".

	MidEast Web - Documents and History - Wye River Accords
		By 1998 the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, begun with so much hope and promise 4 years earlier with the signing of the Oslo Declaration of Principles, had all but died.
		The result was the Wye River Memorandum, in which Israel agreed to carry out a staged withdrawal from some 13% of the territory it occupied, and the Palestinian National Authority undertook to suppress terror and eliminate both the private arsenals and weapons stockpiled by the PNA in violation of the accords.
		In line with the Wye accords, the Palestine Legislative Council of the PNA voted to nullify sections of the PLO charter specified by Yasser Arafat in his letter of 1998, which was referenced in Section II.C(2) of the Wye Memorandum.

	[04 Nov 1998] GA/PAL/786 : WYE RIVER AGREEMENT COULD BE NEW BEGINNING, PAVING WAY FOR FINAL SETTLEMENT, PALESTINE ...
		There were high hopes that the Wye River Memorandum would be a new beginning that could lead to a final settlement on the question of Palestine, the Observer for Palestine, Nasser Al-Kidwa, told the Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People this morning.
		An example of that was the fact that the Memorandum spoke of "the nullification of the Palestinian National Charter provisions that are inconsistent with the letters exchanged between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and the Government of Israel on 9/10 September 1993".
		The Wye River Memorandum was extremely important and there were high hopes that it would be a new beginning, if implemented, and another threshold that would help conclude a final settlement.

		The Wye agreement requires the PA to reduce the size of its police force to the number permitted under the Oslo Accords and to transfer to Israel a list of recruits.
		In November and December 1998, Yasser Arafat's Fatah faction of the PLO planned and organized mass riots in Judea, Samaria and Gaza to pressure Israel to release Palestinian terrorists from prison.

		As a result of the negotiations, the Wye River Memorandum was signed by Prime Minister Netanyahu and Chairman Arafat on October 23, 1998 in a ceremony that was also attended by King Hussein of Jordan.

		Consequently, on October 23, 1998 the Wye River Memorandum was signed to "facilitate implementation" the Interim agreement between the Palestinians and Israel.
		The redeployments were to be conducted in three stages and it was projected that after completion of the third stage, area A would be approximately 18.2% of the West Bank, area B would be 21.8%, and the remaining areas would continue to be area C (Wye River Memorandum, 1998).
		On December 15, 1998, the Israeli government announced its decision to stop further redeployment, and froze the implementation of the Wye agreement indefinitely.

		Wye included a revised timetable for the phased implementation of the first and second "further redeployments" (FRD) of Israeli military forces outlined in Oslo II, and divided Oslo II’s second redeployment into three phases.
		Barak recently set an October 1 target date for Wye’s second FRD, and is seeking the PA’s agreement to include the third FRD as part of the final status talks.
		It was expected that this area would be transferred to the PA as part of the third Wye redeployment, which Banak wants to implement only as part of a final status timetable.

		The Palestinian uprising in the late 1980s, the 1993 Oslo Accords, the 1998 Wye River Memorandum and subsequent negotiations on final status are developments that have changed the political-societal context in which Hamas has operated.
		Surveys by the Nablus-based Center for Palestinian Research and Studies (CPRS) conducted in 1998 and the first half of 1999 indicate a decline in support for Hamas: The rate of support for Fatah (PLO) was 39 percent, compared to 12 percent for Hamas and 3 percent for the Popular Front (PFLP).

		It was negotiated at Wye River, MD at the Wye River Conference Center and signed at the White House with President Bill Clinton playing a key role as the official witness.
		At stake was the revival of the Wye River land-for-security accord, nearing collapse with Israelis and the Palestinians accusing each other of violating the deal.

	HRW - Letter to Wye River Donor Governments (November 1998)
		Among the areas of special concern are clauses in the memorandum which appear to encourage violations of basic human rights.
		Indeed, since the signing of the memorandum the Palestinian Authority has arrested suspects named by Israel, conducted massive arrests of political opponents, imposed new restrictions on journalists' ability to report on public opinion, issued a presidential decree criminalizing incitement to "division" and criticism of agreements signed by the PLO.
		The prominent role given to the CIA in the Wye River Memorandum—given its long history of involvement in gross human rights violations, typically by security forces and groups it monitored or aided—can only raise doubts about the seriousness of all parties' commitment to the prevention of human rights violations.

	Wye and the Palestinian Covenant
		Media reports on implementation of the Wye River Memorandum have incorrectly characterized as a "new demand" Israel's position that the Palestinian Covenant must be revised by a full meeting of the Palestinian National Council.
		However, since Wye incorporates these previous agreements, Wye's requirement that the PNC meet together with other bodies to affirm support for revising the Covenant is an addendum to the earlier requirements, not a replacement.
		In sum, the Wye Memorandum in no way supplants prior agreements which require, among other things, that the Palestinians formally and definitively revoke all clauses in the Palestinian Covenant that call for armed struggle against Israel and that deny Israel's existence and legitimacy.

		As a result of the progress achieved in the September 1998 Wye River Memorandum, the U.S. Government pledged $400 million in assistance to the Palestinians over a three-year period (FY 2000-2002) in addition to our ongoing annual assistance.
		The USAID assistance program, which demonstrates the U.S. commitment to economic development in the West Bank and Gaza, is an essential element of the U.S. Government strategy for long-term peace built on a foundation of regional stability, economic prosperity and adherence to democratic principles.

		The road to Wye itself was a difficult one.
		It was not until January 1998 that the peace process was revived, albeit not fully, at the insistence of the United States.
		The Palestinians in turn accused Israel of reneging on the Wye memorandum by not releasing political prisoners -- individuals the Palestinians saw as heroes in the struggle for independence, but whom Israel viewed as terrorists.

		The Wye River Memorandum also requires Israeli and Palestinian cooperation in arresting terrorists and for the Palestinians to provide the Israelis with a list of present and former Palestinian police men, so that it can be determined if the size of the Palestinian police force is within the limits prescribed by the Oslo Accords.
