History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords of 1993 initiated a framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), with both sides recognizing each other. However, ongoing violence, including the recent car-ramming incident near Nablus, reflects the unresolved territorial disputes and statehood aspirations. The failure of subsequent peace efforts, such as Trump's ceasefire proposal, highlights the enduring complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
