"They signed the Oslo Accords and all I got was this lousy T-shirt"

The Oslo Accords I&II, signed amidst much international optimism in 1993 & 1995, aimed to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through mutual recognition and gradual steps towards Palestinian self-governance. The agreements resulted in limited self-governance for Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip through the creation of the Palestinian Authority yet failed to address key issues such as Israeli settlements, the status of Jerusalem, and the rights of Palestinian refugees. The Oslo Accords legacy although earned its signatories a nobel prize each is now marred by unmet promises.
