Discover the historical milestone on Israeli-Palestinian relationship with the signing of the Declaration of Principles, 1993

After the signing of the Declaration of Principles on Palestinian self-government (1993), U.S. President Bill Clinton, facilitator of the agreement, shakes hands with Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian leader Yāsir ʿArafāt. A truly groundbreaking moment is signaled by louder applause when the former mortal enemies, ʿArafāt and Rabin and then ʿArafāt and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres, also shake hands.
