History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed on September 13, 1993, marked a pivotal moment in Israeli-Palestinian relations, establishing the Palestinian Authority to govern parts of the West Bank and Gaza. However, the agreements faced criticism for failing to ensure Palestinian statehood and self-determination. The ongoing violence and humanitarian crises today reflect the unresolved tensions stemming from these accords, significantly impacting over 2 million Palestinians.
