TheGaza–Jericho Agreement, officially calledAgreement on the Gaza Strip and the Jericho Area, was a follow-up treaty to theOslo I Accord in which details of Palestinian autonomy were concluded.[1] The agreement is commonly known as the1994 Cairo Agreement. It was signed on 4 May 1994 byYasser Arafat and the then Israeli Prime MinisterYitzhak Rabin.
The Agreement provided for limited Palestinian self-rule in theWest Bank andGaza Strip within five years. Pursuant to the Agreement, Israel promised to withdraw partly from theJericho region in the West Bank and partly from the Gaza Strip, within three weeks of signing.[2] ThePalestinian Authority (PA) was created by the Agreement (Article III, Transfer of Authority), andYasser Arafat became the first president of the PA on 5 July 1994 upon the formal inauguration of the PA.[3]
Other parts of the agreement were theProtocol on Economic Relations (Paris Protocol) and the establishment of thePalestinian Civil Police Force. The Paris Protocol regulates the economic relationship between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, but in effect integrates the Palestinian economy into the Israeli one.[4]
The agreement was incorporated into and superseded by theOslo II Accord, formally known as theInterim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip of 24 and 28 September 1995 (Oslo II, Article XXXI, Final Clauses).[5]
