History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, aimed to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict by establishing frameworks for a two-state solution involving Israel, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), and the United States. However, ongoing tensions, exacerbated by recent events such as Netanyahu's UN speech and UAE's demands, highlight the failure to address key issues from these agreements, undermining stability in Gaza and the West Bank.
