Terje Rod-Larsen, a Norwegian sociologist, and Mona Juul, a diplomat, initiated secret talks between Israel and the PLO in Norway. Their efforts set the stage for the Oslo Accords. The two sides, previously sworn enemies, began discussions in Oslo, away from the media spotlight. These negotiations eventually led to a breakthrough peace agreement. The Oslo Accords marked a significant turning point in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was the first time the two parties officially recognized each other's existence and agreed to work towards a peaceful coexistence. The accords also established the Palestinian Authority and outlined plans for Israeli withdrawal from certain territories. The talks were a challenging process, requiring endless patience and perseverance from all involved. The efforts of Rod-Larsen and Juul, along with the dedication of the Israeli and Palestinian representatives, ultimately paid off with the signing of the historic agreement. The Oslo Accords paved the way for future peace negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. While the agreement faced criticism and challenges in the years that followed, it remains a milestone in the pursuit of peace in the Middle East. #TerjeRodLarsen #MonaJuul #Norway #OsloAccords #Israel #PLO #PeaceNegotiations #HistoricAgreement
