History

]
The Agreement provided for limited Palestinian self-rule in the
West Bank
and
Gaza Strip
within five years. Pursuant to the Agreement, Israel promised to withdraw partly from the
Jericho
region in the West Bank and partly from the Gaza Strip, within three weeks of signing.
[2]
The
Palestinian Authority
was created by the Agreement (Article III, Transfer of Authority), and
Yasser 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 the
Protocol on Economic Relations
(Paris Protocol) and the establishment of the
Palestinian 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The agreement was incorporated into and superseded by the
Oslo II Accord
, formally known as the
Interim Agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip
of 24 and 28 September 1995 (Oslo II, Article XXXI, Final Clauses).
