After decades of bloody animosity, representatives of Israel
and Palestine met on the South Lawn of the White House
and sign a framework for peace.

The “Declaration of Principles” was the first agreement
between the Israelis and Palestinians towards ending
their conflict and sharing the holy land between the
River Jordan and the Mediterranean Sea that they both
claim as their homeland.
