Oslo Peace Accords
The Oslo Accords, officially the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements or Declaration of Principles (DOP), signed in 1993, were an attempt to set up a framework that would lead to the resolution of the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict. It was also the first face- to-face agreement between the government of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO). The negotiations were held secretly in Oslo and later officially signed in Washington, D.C. on September 13, 1993, in the presence of PLO chairman Yasser Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin as well as United States President Bill Clinton.
