History

Historical Context

The 1993 Oslo Accords established mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, aiming for peace and Palestinian self-governance. However, ongoing violence, particularly during the Second Intifada starting in 2000, undermined these efforts. The recent summit, involving 31 nations, seeks to revive this peace process, emphasizing the importance of a two-state solution for regional stability.
