History

Historical Context

The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) was established in 1964 during a meeting of Palestinian leaders in Jerusalem, aiming to unify Palestinian factions and advocate for self-determination. Initially seeking to eliminate Israel, the PLO shifted towards a two-state solution by 1988.
