History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, initiated a peace process between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), establishing the Palestinian Authority for limited self-governance. Despite hopes for a lasting resolution, ongoing disputes over territory and security have persisted, with the interim arrangements failing to lead to a permanent settlement by the anticipated 1999 deadline, complicating current discussions on Gaza's reconstruction and Hamas's disarmament.
