Challenges to the Peace Process: Analyzing the Madrid Conference and Post-Oslo Developments

The Peace Process between Israel and Palestine has faced numerous challenges since the Madrid Conference in 1991 aimed at ending the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. Key issues include the status of Jerusalem, the Palestinian refugee problem, and the expansion of Israeli settlements. The Oslo Agreement in 1993 marked a significant step towards peace but encountered opposition from both sides, leading to fluctuating settlement populations and ongoing tensions. This analysis explores the complexities surrounding bi-lateral negotiations, Palestinian self-government, and the enduring quest for a secure resolution.
