September 28, 1995
The Israeli-Palestinian Interim Agreement, sometimes referred to as Oslo II, is signed by Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO leader Yasser Arafat in a ceremony at the White House. The agreement establishes the Palestinian Authority as an elected, self-governing body to oversee Palestinian interests in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Its fundamental principle is that neither side should take a unilateral action that would change the status of the Gaza Strip or the West Bank.
But Rabin is assassinated a little more than a month after signing the agreement.
