Yitzhak Rabin    1922-1995        UK / USA

 Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin of Israel,

who was shot dead yesterday at age 73,

was a soldier turned statesman

who led his country into uncharted territory

to make peace with the Palestinians

and put an end to the wars,

bloodshed and terrorism

that had plagued his country since its founding.

It was General Rabin,

the Commander in Chief of Israel's

armed forces in 1967,

who had led the lightning strike

that captured broad swaths of Arab territories.

Twenty-six years later,

on Sept. 13, 1993,

it was Prime Minister Rabin

who reluctantly extended his hand to Yasir Arafat,

leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization,

to put a symbolic seal of approval

on an accord that would lead

to the return of much of that territory

and to Palestinian self-rule

on the Israeli-occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.

Mideast accord /  Oslo agreement       1993

http://www.nytimes.com/learning/general/onthisday/big/0913.html

The Palestinian National Council

(a government-in-exile)

had in 1988 accepted the two-state solution,

as envisaged by the UN resolution 181 in 1947.

It renounced terrorism

and started to seek a negotiated settlement

based on Resolution 242,

which called for Israel to withdraw

from territory captured in the 1967 war,

and Resolution 338.

Secret talks encouraged

by the Norwegian government took place

and these resulted in a Declaration of Principles.

This said they had agreed it was

"time to put an end

to decades of confrontation and conflict,

recognise their mutual legitimate and political rights,

and strive to live in peaceful coexistence

and mutual dignity and security

and achieve a just, lasting

and comprehensive peace settlement".

It called for a five-year transitional period

in which Israeli forces

would withdraw from occupied territories

and a Palestinian Authority would be set up,

leading to a permanent settlement.

It was signed

on the White House lawn in September 1993

in the presence of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin

and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat.

It was followed

by a peace treaty with Jordan in 1994.
