Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh on Monday blamed Israel for violating agreements between the parties pertaining to Judea and Samaria.
"Israel continues to attack cities and villages in Areas A, B and C on a daily basis and treats them all as areas under its security and civilian control," Shtayyeh said at a cabinet meeting in Ramallah.

"Therefore, we will deal with all places as if they are part of Area A," which is under PA security and civilian control, he added.
Under the 1993 Oslo Accords, the West Bank was split into three areas of control: Area A, which is under Palestinian civil and security control; Area B, under Palestinian civil controls and shared Israeli-Palestinian security control; and Area C, under full Israeli civil and security control.
The Palestinian premier's comments referred to buildings that Israel demolished two weeks ago in Wadi Hummus, near east Jerusalem, which is under control of the PA.
Israel said the structures were built too close to the security fence and posed a threat to civilians and security personnel. Local residents denied the accusation and said they had the required construction permits from the PA.
The United Nations and the European Union condemned the demolitions in Wadi Hummus, but Palestinians are worried that a new precedent has been established for Israeli demolitions in Palestinian-controlled areas.
Shtayyeh also rejected the Trump administration's peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians.
Ibrahim Milhem, Shtayyeh's spokesman, said the PA premier's comments mean Ramallah will begin issuing building permits to Palestinians in Area C.
Last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet granted some 700 building permits to Palestinians in Area C and approximately 6,000 others to Israelis.
