The Oslo Accords were a pair of agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, reached through secret negotiations in Norway and signed in the early 1990s. The first, the Declaration of Principles, was signed on the White House lawn in Washington, with Yitzhak Rabin, Yasser Arafat and President Bill Clinton present; each side recognized the other, and the PLO renounced terrorism. The accords created the Palestinian Authority and set up an interim period of limited self-government in parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, with the hardest issues, such as Jerusalem, borders, refugees and settlements, left for later talks. Rabin, Arafat and Shimon Peres shared the 1994 Nobel Peace Prize. Rabin was assassinated by an Israeli extremist in 1995, and a final settlement was never reached.
