Gaza, Palestine; President of the PNA


The Palestinian National Authority (PNA) was created in 1993. The Oslo Accords were signed on 13 September 1993 between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel. This is what created the PNA. The PNA was the government of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank of the Jordan River. Yasser Arafat did his most peaceful acts during the period that he was affiliated with the PNA. He was the president of the PNA in 1996, two years after he won the Nobel Peace Prize. He has a lot of power in that year and position, however, he did not succeed in doing much for Palestinian people. What he was most known for in this period was keeping the Palestinian cause alive.
