History

Historical Context

The 1993 Oslo I Accord, signed in Washington, D.C., established the Palestinian Authority and pledged mutual recognition between Israel and the PLO. The United Nations noted that between 1995 and 2020 Israel built over 1,200 Bank housing units, exceeding 600 units pledged in the Hebron Protocol. Now settlers in Jalud prevent a Palestinian family’s return, prompting President Isaac Herzog’s condemnation and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s pledge to prosecute perpetrators. The recurrence fuels U.S. congressional calls, such as Representatives Jesús García, Delia Ramirez, Mike Quigley and Jonathan Jackson urging sanctions, highlighting Oslo’s unfinished peace framework.
