History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed on September 13, 1993, initiated a peace process between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), establishing the Palestinian Authority for limited self-governance. This agreement followed secret negotiations in Norway and aimed for a two-state solution, yet ongoing tensions and violence, including the assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, have hindered lasting peace efforts.
