In this decade, Dan Shomron signed a protocol named for the city of Hebron, where the Cave of the Patriarchs massacre occurred earlier in this decade.

The end of the First Intifada is generally dated to one of two events in this decade: the Madrid Conference, or an agreement that divided (10[1])a region (10[1])into Areas A, B, and C.
