In September 1993, Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, left, and Palestine Liberation Organization chairman Yasir Arafat, right, agreed to the signing of a 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.
