Handshakes that shook the world
SEOUL, APR 27 (DNA) – When the leaders of North and South Korea reached across the Military Demarcation Line to shake hands on Friday, they symbolically – if fleetingly – united a peninsula that has been divided for decades.
The handshake between the two leaders marked the latest milestone in a rapid rapprochement after months of global fears about a nuclear conflict.
Here are some other handshakes that shook the world:
Arafat-Rabin, 1993

And then, in one of the most dramatic moments in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with US President Bill Clinton’s arms stretched around both leaders, Arafat and Rabin shook hands.
