King of Jordan's Path to Peace Between Israel and Palestine (1993)

Описание: On 10 September 1993, King Hussein of Jordan was interviewed by ITN's Jon Snow on the historic Mutual Recognition agreement signed the day before between the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and the state of Israel. The agreement saw Israel recognise for the first time the PLO as the representative of the Palestinian people. It came days before the signing of the Oslo I accords on 13 September, which established a roadmap to peace in the Israel-Palestine conflict. The agreement provided for the withdrawal of Israeli forces from, and limited Palestinian self-governance in, the occupied territories of Gaza, the West Bank and the Golan Heights. King Hussein's interview reflects the optimism with which the mutual recognition agreement was met around the world. When asked at the end of the interview when he thought peace might be found, he stated his hopeful belief that it would be realised "much before the end of the century".
