Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank launched a popular uprising against Israeli occupation. The Intifada brought worldwide attention to the Palestinian cause and led to the Oslo Accords in 1993. The struggle for Palestinian rights remains a central concern for Muslims worldwide, particularly regarding the status of al-Aqsa Mosque.
