Oslo II, or Oslo 2, Accords

Years: 1995 - 1995

The Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip commonly known as Oslo II or Oslo 2 is a key and complex agreement in the Israeli–Palestinian Peace process.

Because Oslo II is signed in Taba, it is sometimes called the Taba Agreement.

The Oslo Accords envision the establishment of a Palestinian interim self-government in the Palestinian territories, but fall short of the promise of an independent Palestinian state.

Oslo II creates the Areas A, B and C in the West Bank.

The Palestinian Authority is given some limited powers and responsibilities in the Areas A and B and a prospect of negotiations on a final settlement based on Security Council Resolutions 242 and 338.

The Accord is officially signed on September 28, 1995.

“One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”

― Golda Meir, My Life (1975)
