33 Years on from Oslo Agreement
More than three decades after the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, the key issues related to ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remain unresolved, especially Jerusalem, borders, settlements, refugees, and security. The agreement stipulated that the transitional phase was temporary, but the geographic and administrative reality in the West Bank has transformed into a permanent division. Area C remained under Israeli control and constitutes 60% of the West Bank, with settlements and Israeli infrastructure expanding there. Negotiations have not led to a final settlement, and the current situation presents significant obstacles to establishing a contiguous Palestinian state, reflecting a dual legacy of limited Palestinian autonomy and ongoing geographic and political imbalance.
