History for the day: 1994: Rabin and Arafat sign accord

History.com has this for 4 May:

On 4 May 1994, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat reached agreement (photo) in Cairo, Egypt on the first stage of Palestinian self-rule.
The agreement was made in accordance with the Oslo Accords, signed in Washington, DC on 13 September 1993. This was the first direct, face-to-face agreement between Israelis and Palestinians, and acknowledged Israel’s right to exist. It was also designed as a framework for future relations between the two parties.
The Gaza-Jericho agreement addressed four main issues: security arrangements, civil affairs, legal matters, and economic relations. It included an Israeli military withdrawal from about sixty percent of the Gaza Strip (with Jewish settlements and their environs excluded) and the West Bank town of Jericho, captured by Israel during the Six-Day War in 1967. The Palestinians agreed to combat terror and prevent violence in the famous “land for peace” bargain. The document also included an agreement to a transfer of authority from the Israeli Civil Administration to the newly created Palestinian Authority, its jurisdiction and legislative powers, a Palestinian police force, and relations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
Israeli Defense Forces withdrew from Jericho on 13 May and from most of the Gaza Strip on 18 and 19 May 1994. Palestinian Authority police and officials immediately took control. During the first few days, there were a spate of attacks on Israeli troops and civilians in and near the Strip. Arafat himself arrived in Gaza to a tumultuous, chaotic welcome on 1 July.
As time went on,timetables stipulated in the deal were not met, Israel’s re-deployments were slowed, and new agreements were negotiated. Israeli critics of the deal claimed that Land for Peace was, in reality, Land for Nothing.
The momentum toward peaceful relations between Israel and the Palestinians was seriously jolted by the outbreak of the 2000 Palestinian uprising, known as the Second Intifada. Further strain was put on the process after Hamas came into power in the 2006 Palestinian elections.

Rico says that that turned out so well... (And both Rabin and Arafat are dead now, anyway.) But if the Palestinians 'agreed to combat terror and prevent violence', they didn't do a very good job...
