The Oslo Accords marked the start of the Oslo process, a peace process aimed at
achieving a peace treaty based on United Nations Security Council Resolutions
242 and 338, and at fulfilling the "right of the Palestinian people to
self-determination." The Oslo process started after secret negotiations in Oslo,
resulting in the recognition by the PLO of the State of Israel and the
recognition by Israel of the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people
and as a partner in negotiations.
The Oslo Accords created a Palestinian
Authority tasked with limited self-governance of parts of the West Bank and Gaza
Strip; and acknowledged the PLO as Israel's partner in permanent-status
negotiations about remaining questions. The most important questions relate to
the borders of Israel and Palestine, Israeli settlements, the status of
Jerusalem, Israel's military presence in and control over remaining territories

return. The Oslo Accords, however, did not create a Palestinian state. The

2nd Intifada was happened 2000 - 2005. The Second Intifada was a Palestinian
uprising against Israel. The general triggers for the violence were proposed as
the failure of the 2000 Camp David Summit to reach final agreement on the
Israeli-Palestinian peace process in July 2000. The violence started in
September 2000, after Ariel Sharon made a highly provocative visit to the Temple
Mount. The visit itself was peaceful, but, as anticipated, it sparked protests
and riots which the Israeli police put down with rubber bullets and tear gas.
High numbers of casualties were caused among civilians as well as combatants.
The Israelis engaged in gunfire, tank and air attacks, and targeted killings
while the Palestinians engaged in suicide bombings, rock throwing, gunfire and
rockets attacks. The death toll, including both combatants and civilians, is
estimated to be about 3,000 Palestinians and 1,000 Israelis, as well as 64
foreigners.

Second Intifada. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon agreed that all Palestinian factions would stop all acts of
violence against all Israelis everywhere, while Israel would cease all its
military activity against all Palestinians everywhere. They also reaffirmed
their commitment to the Roadmap for peace process. Sharon also agreed to release
900 Palestinian prisoners of the 7,500 being held at the time, and to withdraw
from West Bank towns that had been reoccupied during the intifada.

Park Hotel in Netanya. Hamas claimed to have organized this attack in which 30
Israeli civilians were killed.
The operation was concentrated on the cities in Judea and Samaria, in particular
Nablus, Ramallah, Jenin and Bethlehem, which housed most of the terrorist
infrastructures.
