As was mentioned before, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) wasn’t only a violent group. They did many peaceful things in Palestine and Israel, the most memorable of these occurred in Madrid, Spain. Here, there were the first ever peace talks between Israel and Palestine. Yasser Arafat made these peace talks happen, and this is one major reason why he one the Nobel Peace Prize in 1994. It was awarded to him “for his efforts to create peace in the Middle East.” And although these first talks weren’t successful, it set a precedent of peace between the two nations which would be followed, then broken in later years.
