Oslo Accords: Rabin and Arafat sign historic peace agreement
On September 13, 1993, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat signed the Oslo Accords at the White House. The historic event was marked by a handshake between the two leaders, witnessed by U.S. President Bill Clinton and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres.
The agreement, known as the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements, was designed to establish a framework for peace in the Middle East by granting limited Palestinian autonomy. While the ceremony was viewed globally as a significant breakthrough in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, the long-term implementation of the peace process faced numerous challenges and remains a subject of historical debate.
