Israel-Palestine Liberation Organization Recognition Agreement

The Israel-PLO Recognition Agreement was a formal step in the 1990s where Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) acknowledged each other's existence and committed to peaceful coexistence. This agreement, part of the Oslo Accords, recognized the PLO as the legitimate representative of the Palestinian people and aimed to lay the groundwork for future negotiations over Palestinian self-rule and peace in the region. It marked a shift from conflict to diplomacy, fostering dialogue to resolve longstanding disputes over land, sovereignty, and rights.
