Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993 by the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel, aimed to resolve territorial disputes and establish Palestinian self-governance. Despite these efforts, Trump's 2019 Gaza peace plan faced rejection from Hamas, which viewed it as biased towards Israel. The ongoing humanitarian crisis, with 25% of Gazans facing famine, highlights the urgent need for a sustainable resolution to this enduring conflict.
