| | Tunisia (09/05) |
 | | Tunisia is a leader in the Arab world in promoting the legal and social status of women. | | | In 1993, Tunisia was the first Arab country to host an official Israeli delegation as part of the Middle East peace process and maintained an Interests Section until the outbreak of the 2000 Intifada. | | | Trade unions have played a key role in Tunisia's history since the struggle for independence, when the 1952 assassination of labor leader Farhat Hached was a catalyst for the final push against French domination. |

| | PLO in Tunisia |
| | Tunis was already the headquarters of the Arab League which had transferred there from Cairo to punish Egypt for signing a peace agreement with Israel. | | | Even though Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba was generally a moderate in his policy on Israel, and had his own misgivings about the PLO, Tunisia was among the Arab countries that allowed the PLO to resettle from Lebanon. | | | After this surface change of policy, seventy countries recognized the PLO as the government of the Palestinian Arabs, and Arafat was able to reverse his decline to re-emerge as the clear Palestinian leader following the 1991 Madrid Peace Conference and the 1993 Oslo agreement which was negotiated in secret while Arafat remained in Tunis. |
