History

Historical Context

Israel and the PLO signed the Oslo I Accord on 13 September 1993, creating the Palestinian Authority and launching a five-year interim withdrawal plan. Subsequent accords, such as the 4 May 1994 Gaza–Jericho Agreement, transferred limited powers while settlement expansion persisted, eroding confidence. Today, renewed diplomatic friction over settlements reflects the unresolved issues that have endured since Oslo.
