In September 1993, Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, left, and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) chairman Yasir Arafat, right, agreed to the signing of an historic peace accord. The accord paved the way for limited Palestinian self-rule in Israeli-occupied territories. After witnessing the signing, the longtime foes shook hands in the presence of United States President Bill Clinton. In a speech he delivered at the signing ceremony, Rabin called for an end to the violence.
