History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993 by Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat, aimed to establish a framework for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, creating the Palestinian Authority. However, ongoing violence, including over 752 incidents of settler violence in 2023, highlights the failure to fully implement the accords, perpetuating instability and complicating future peace efforts in the region.
