Oslo Accords
Oslo Accords: Another Chapter in the Deception of the Palestinians September 13, 1993. A much-discussed moment in the history of world politics was captured on the White House lawn: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat shaking hands, with US President Bill Clinton standing in between. Cameras flashed all around, media cheers, and congratulatory messages poured in from major capitals around the world. Everyone was saying—a new era of peace had begun in the Middle East. But what was not visible was the reality behind the scenes of this agreement—a clever, cunning, and ruthless political deception that the Palestinians were the victims of.
