History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, marked a pivotal moment in Israeli-Palestinian relations, establishing a framework for limited Palestinian self-governance and mutual recognition between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). Despite initial hopes, the five-year interim period ended in 1999 without a final peace agreement, leaving unresolved issues that continue to influence the region, including recent international aid pledges for Gaza's reconstruction.
