Prospects for Peace and Palestine
The Oslo Accord between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization was signed in Washington on September 13, 1993. The gala event, featuring Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, generated much media fanfare.

Critical voices are emerging suggesting that the agreement is seriously flawed. Are some of Jericho’s walls coming down only to be replaced by others?
