The Oslo Accords are a pair of interim agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Oslo I Accord signed in Washington, D.C., in 1993 and the Oslo II Accord signed in Taba, Egypt, in 1995, marking the start of the Oslo peace process aimed at a peace treaty based on United Nations Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338. They followed secret negotiations in Oslo, Norway, and resulted in mutual recognition between Israel and the PLO, as well as the creation of the Palestinian Authority to conduct limited Palestinian self-governance over parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, though the Accords did not create a definite Palestinian state. The peace process was strained by violence including the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre and militant attacks, and Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated in 1995 by a right-wing Israeli extremist opposed to the Accords.
