Israeli Reactions to the Oslo Accords

After the historical handshake with Yasser Arafat, Yitzhak Rabin said, on behalf of the Israeli people: "We who have fought against you, the Palestinians, we say to you today, in a loud and a clear voice, enough of blood and tears ... enough!"
The Accords divided Israeli society. Some saw Rabin as a hero for advancing the cause of peace. Right-wing Israelis, who in 1993 were a minority in the Knesset, opposed the Oslo Agreements, some seeing Rabin as a traitor for giving away land they viewed as rightfully belonging to Israel. Settlers feared they would lose their homes.
Right-wing Israelis often blame the Oslo agreements for Israeli deaths in terror attacks, which continued despite the Accords, culminating in the Second Intifada (2000-2005).
Rabin was assassinated by a Zionist extremist in 1995.
The Oslo Accords led to the signing of the Israel-Jordan Treaty of Peace in 1994.
