  1. Claudia and Alex Middle east peace talks (1993 Palestinian and 1994 Jordanian)

  2. 1993 Palestinian Peace Talks • Following intense behind-the-scenes contacts between Israeli and Palestinian negotiators in Oslo, an agreement was achieved between Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) Chairman Yasser Arafat • September 9, 1993, Arafat sent a letter to Prime Minister Rabin, in which he states that the PLO should “recognize the right of Israel to exist in peace and security” • In reply, Israel recognized the PLO as the representative of the Palestinians in the peace negotiations

  3. Continued: Palestinian Peace Talks • September 13, 1993, a joint Israeli-Palestinian Declaration of Principles (DOP), based on the agreement worked out in Olso, was signed by the two parties in Washington, outlining the proposed interim self government arrangements, as envisioned and agreed by both sides • After an interim period, negotiators then would determine a final peace agreement to resolve the thorniest issues: final borders, security arrangements, Jerusalem, whether the Palestinians would have the independent state, Jewish settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, and the Palestinian refugees’ claims to land and property

  4. 1994 Jordanian Peace Talks • After securing a peace treaty with the Palestinian Liberation Organization in September 1993, Israel next sought peace negotiations with Jordan • End the “state of belligerency” between them that had existed since Israel’s founding in 1948 • Each side pledged to seek peace after “generations of hostility, blood and tears and in the wake of years of pain and wars.” • Oct. 26, 1994- Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel and Prime Minister Abdel Salam Majali of Jordan • Signed a peace treaty in a ceremony attended by President Bill Clinton

  5. Continued: Jordanian Peace Talks • The two countries pledged to respect each other’s sovereignty, settled borders, and addressed numerous other issues, including water supply • “With Israel also having agreed to the start of Palestinian self-rule in parts of the occupied territories, it is now closer than ever to a long-held goal of coming to terms with all of its immediate Arab neighbors.” • Although no other Arab state has yet agreed to establish diplomatic relations with Israel, Israel and Jordan have continued to maintain generally peaceful relations since the 1994 treaty
