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 significant international support and over $40 billion in aid from 1994 to 2020, ongoing conflicts and political challenges have hindered stability, as seen in Gaza's recent technocratic committee formation and the projected $50 billion reconstruction effort.
