c) Israel and Palestine

The U.S.-brokered ‘Oslo Accords’ in 1993 aimed to resolve the longstanding conflict between Israel and Palestine. Initiated in Oslo, Norway, the accords were a series of agreements that marked the first direct, face-to-face negotiations between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). These accords resulted in mutual recognition between the parties and laid the groundwork for further negotiations toward a comprehensive peace agreement. The Oslo process, though it faced numerous challenges and setbacks, represented a significant breakthrough in the Middle East peace process, highlighting the importance of diplomacy and dialogue in resolving complex international conflicts.
