What were the olso accords?

The Oslo Accords were a series of agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) aimed at achieving peace and establishing a framework for Palestinian self-governance. The first accord, signed in 1993, marked the first time both parties recognized each other and set the stage for further negotiations on key issues such as borders, security, and the status of Jerusalem. The accords established the Palestinian Authority and allowed for limited self-rule in parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, although the peace process has faced numerous challenges and setbacks since then.
