Detailed explanation-1: -The Oslo Accords neither define the nature of the post-Oslo Palestinian self-government and its powers and responsibilities, nor do they define the borders of the territory it eventually would govern. A core issue of the Oslo Accords was the withdrawal of the Israeli military from Palestinian territories.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Oslo Accords were a pivotal milestone in Israeli-Palestinian relations, aimed at propelling the peace process forward and providing for the expansion of Palestinian self-rule throughout most of the West Bank.
Detailed explanation-3: -The agreement came from secret talks in Oslo, Norway in 1993 where they created this agreement. This lead to the Palestinians agreeing to end violence and recognize Israel.
Detailed explanation-4: -The agreement, officially titled the Declaration of Principles on Interim Self-Government Arrangements (DOP), was signed on the White House lawn on 13 September 1993. Various “transfers of power and responsibilities” in the Gaza Strip and West Bank from Israel to the Palestinians took place in the mid-1990s.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Oslo II Accord divided the Israeli-occupied West Bank into three administrative divisions: the Palestinian enclaves as “Areas A and B” and the remainder, including Israeli settlements, as “Area C".
