Obviously, this is little more than another attempt to villify Israel by making them look like the guilty party. But they never saw themselves bound by it in the first place (Hat tip: Hot Air):

“We cannot continue to be bound by these signed agreements with Israel and Israel must assume fully all its responsibility as an occupying power,” Mr. Abbas said.

There was no immediate reaction from the Israeli government. Officials said they were studying Mr. Abbas’s speech. [...]

Khalil Shikaki, a leading Palestinian political analyst, said Mr. Abbas’s declaration was “a big deal, no doubt” but would mean “absolutely nothing” on the ground “until he starts taking the steps he mentioned” to curtail security, economic, and civil coordination between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. He said Mr. Abbas would be under tremendous pressure from Palestinians to cut these ties but would probably take weeks or months to follow through. [...]

Last year Mr. Abbas used his General Assembly speech to push for a Security Council resolution that would demand an end to Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory by a certain date, and define a Palestinian state roughly along the pre-1967 lines with East Jerusalem as its capital.

But the momentum for such a resolution has faded with the world’s increasing focus on fighting the Islamic State and grappling with the world refugee crisis.

Not that the world governments really are fighting the IS, but for now, they are losing some interest in a man with no respect for human life and dignity, who only believes in socialism and does nothing to better the living conditions of the people under his and the Hamas' tyranny.

What Abbas says, in the end, is just more empty blather.
