History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, marked a pivotal moment in Israeli-Palestinian relations, establishing mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). This agreement aimed to create a framework for Palestinian self-governance and initiated a five-year transitional period. Despite initial hopes, ongoing tensions and violence, including the assassination of Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, have complicated the peace process and shaped current dynamics.
