THE OSLO ACCORD
In The Arab-Israeli Peace Process, the author Moonis Ahmar argues that “Peace is an end in itself and the techniques of confidence building measures, conflict management, conflict prevention and conflict resolution are used as a means to accomplish that end. ... There have been several attempts over the years to solve this conflict and the Oslo Accord constitutes a benchmark among those, as the first inclusive peace settlement between Israel and Palestine. The Oslo Accord is the first official attempt of the government of Israel and the PLO (Palestinian Liberation Organization) to put an end to decades of conflict and confrontation. ... The Oslo agreement had two parts. ... The significance of the Oslo Accord for the politics of the Middle East and the reasons why it collapsed should be analyzed in the context of decades of conflict between the two people. ... All in all, the Madrid peace conference did not succeed in resolving any conflict between the Israelis and the Arabs but it was a significant opening to the multilateral peace negotiations that would lead to the Oslo Accord in 1993. ... This statement supports the idea that the Madrid peace conference was the beginning of the two years period of secret negotiations that finalized with the Oslo Accord.
Considered as a breakthrough in the long lasting history of the conflict between the Israeli and PLO, the Oslo Accord signifies a milestone not just for the two people but also for the politics of the Middle East. The way that led to the Oslo Accord was a result of rounds of secret negotiations that have been officially finalized in September 1993 with the meeting of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the PLO Chairman Yasir Arafat in Washington. ...
The Oslo Accord had two main parts. ... Yossi Beilin, an active participant in these negotiations, gives us an interesting insight about The Oslo Process in his book “ The Oslo process began as a very modest attempt to establish a secret conduit, to facilitate progress in the Washington talks, and within a few months it had developed to dimensions that we have never anticipated. ... Hence, the temporary success of the secret negotiations, that took place in Oslo, was proved by the exchange of two historic letters between Israeli Prime Minister Rabin and the PLO Chairman Arafat. ...
Establishment of the mutual recognition opened the door to the second part of the Oslo Accord, which was the Declaration of Principles (DOP). ... Also with this accord, Israel was undertaking to support financially the economic development of Palestinian community. ... These attacks were the bloody protests of the ones that opposed this agreement and also the first signal that the Oslo Accord would not easily reach its final status. ...
Even though it did not succeed completely, The Oslo accord has been a breakthrough in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. ... Shlaim, The Oslo Accord foresees “a gradual solution for the two dimensions of the conflict”, the first one is “ the political and military conflict between Israel and the heightening Arab states” and the second one is “the nationalist clash between Jewish and Palestinians”.
