Publisher	Central Connecticut State University

Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	On September 13, 1993, the leaders of two rival nationalist groups, Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin shook hands on the lawn of the White House, symbolizing the birth of the Oslo Peace Process. For the first time since Israel’s establishment, Palestinians formally accepted Israel’s existence while the Jewish State recognized the Palestinians as a separate people with their own identity and legitimate political aspirations. It was in this atmosphere of exuberance and euphoria that the world looked on with hopes of a new phase of peaceful coexistence. Although this mutual recognition was quite significant in itself, the Oslo Peace Accords was a fundamentally flawed peace process that did not yield reconciliation but rather more violence and disillusionment. Oslo’s achievement of mutual recognition did not yield equal status in the negotiating process. The overstated solution turned out to be the product of a dominant government dictating its agenda upon an unsuspecting or willing subordinate party; the Palestinian political leadership. The decision of the Oslo architects to delay vital issues until the future created a formula for failure. Oslo’s gradualism allowed the dominant party, Israel, to create new facts on the ground, rendering a future Palestinian State unattainable. As the Oslo Peace Process unraveled, it became increasingly apparent that Israel had no intentions of granting the Palestinian people sovereignty. To the Palestinians, peace could not be achieved without the hope of achieving sovereignty. This in the end led to two incompatible views of peace and the destruction of a peace process. What was meant to create mutual trust and reconciliation created more suspicion, distrust and resentment. The Oslo peace process was plagued with gross imbalances, deception and manipulation. The Olso Peace Accords hindered the prospects of real peace in the region by erecting a thin and opaque veneer, which masked the real issues of the conflict.
