History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed on September 13, 1993, marked a pivotal moment in Israeli-Palestinian relations, establishing mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). This agreement aimed to facilitate limited Palestinian self-governance and was rooted in earlier peace efforts, including the 1978 Camp David Accords. Despite ongoing challenges, the Accords remain significant in the quest for lasting peace.
