History

Historical Context

The 1993 Oslo Accords initiated a peace process between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, leading to the establishment of the Palestinian Authority. However, ongoing conflicts, including the October 2023 Hamas attacks, have resulted in over 71,000 deaths in Gaza. Recent international efforts, including a ceasefire agreement and the Board of Peace, aim to stabilize the region, yet lasting peace remains elusive.
