Page "Oslo I Accord" Paragraph 52

According to the Israeli government, the Israeli's trust in the accords was undermined by the fact that after the signing, the attacks against Israel intensified, which some explained as an attempt by certain Palestinian organizations to thwart the peace process.

Others believed that the Palestinian Authority had no interest in stopping these attacks and was instead endorsing them.

As evidence, they showed that when violence flared up in September 1996, Palestinian police turned their guns on the Israelis in clashes which left 61 Palestinians and 15 Israeli soldiers dead.

Important sections of the Israeli public opposed the process ; notably, the Jewish settlers feared that it would lead to them losing their homes.
