Former Israeli PM Netanyahu’s handling of Oslo II and 1996–1997 West Bank tensions

Former Israeli PM Netanyahu’s handling of Oslo II and 1996–1997 West Bank tensions The passage provides a narrative about Netanyahu’s (Bibi) decisions surrounding the Oslo II process, the opening of an archaeological tunnel, and subsequent violence. It mentions specific dates, actors, and outcomes, offering a moderate lead for investigating political decision‑making and possible coordination failures, but it lacks concrete evidence of wrongdoing, financial flows, or new undisclosed information. Key insights: Mentions Netanyahu’s (Bibi) and Likud mayor Ehud Olmert’s decision to open an archaeological tunnel in September 1996.; Notes that the tunnel opening was delayed under previous leaders due to Palestinian tension concerns.; Describes ensuing violence: 25 Israeli soldiers and ~100 Palestinians killed.
