Gaza Jericho Peace Agreement

Issued in 1994, this stamp commemorates the Declaration of Principles signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel, commonly known as the Oslo Accords. The design depicts the historic handshake associated with the agreement, together with the flags of Palestine and Israel, symbolizing the beginning of a new phase of negotiations and cooperation following the accords signed in Washington, D.C., on 13 September 1993. The agreement led to the establishment of the Palestinian Authority and provided a framework for Palestinian self-government in parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

By issuing this commemorative stamp, the Palestinian Authority marked a significant milestone in contemporary Palestinian history and the beginning of its administrative institutions. The issue highlighted the importance of dialogue, negotiation, and international diplomacy in addressing long-standing political challenges, while reflecting Palestinian aspirations for self-governance, peaceful coexistence, and the continued development of national institutions during a period of political transition.
