Essay on Israel's Surrender of the Gaza Strip Did Not Create Peace

Israel has said that they disagree with Kerry’s talks of peace in early 2015, saying the US will give up too much to reach a compromise. David Horovitz of the Times of Israel has said “It seemed inconceivable that [John Kerry] would have drafted an initiative that… did not require the dismantling of Hamas’s rocket arsenal and network of tunnels dug under the Israeli border.” His draft-released on July 25, 2014-was very commonly called “Pro-Hamas”by Israelis due to the fact that Kerry didn’t call for Hamas to end the rocket attacks on Israel. A poll taken in 2014 by Israel’s Channel 10 showed that 86.5% of Israelites were against the cease fire due to the fact that Hamas is far from a

-Israelis—most political group in Israel also wants peace with Palestinians and come up with plans like the disengagement plan in 2005. But Zionism extremist suggests that they should takeover the occupied

The main achievement of this deal was to establish a peace deal between Israel and Palestine, with the help of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan. We focused on the main issue of ensuring that Palestine is given water immediately to combat the ongoing humanitarian crisis that they were encountering. This helped bring Palestine to the table in the first place. The United States also, with the help of Saudi Arabia, both promised to provide Israel and Palestine with financial aid to help them with the resettlement of people in the West Bank. The main agreement was that the resettlement will begin within the next 2 years; the United States will provide more aid to those Israelis that leave the West Bank first. Not only economic aid, but military aid was promised to Israel by the United States and Saudi Arabia to help facilitate the resettlement. The deal that was agreed to also facilitated for the creation of a transitional council, that would oversee resettlement and ensure that all sections of the deal will be upheld. This coalition between the U.S and Saudi Arabia was joined at the end of negotiations by Jordan and Egypt, and saw these four countries, along with Israel and Palestine, sign the Amman Accords. Although I was not directly involved in these talks, my team handled it perfectly and the same way in which I would have. We really felt like a unit.

The history is clear, after the World War II and the holocaust; Jewish wanted their own country, and then the struggle between Jewish and Palestinian started. When the two sides went to war in 1948, Gaza was controlled by Egypt, and the other area which is the West Bank controlled by Jordan. In 1967 after facing another war Israel occupied these Palestinian areas, after facing these two historical wars and Gaza was being under a blockade, which means Israel controlled its borders and control whoever gets out and in. Hamas won elections in Gaza and took control there, which made most of the world call Hamas a terrorist organization and others call Hamas a group of freedom fighters, it means Palestine must be accountable for Hamas’s war

Following the elections, the Quartet (the United States, Russia, United Nations, and European Union) made future foreign assistance to the PA conditional upon the future government's commitment to non-violence, recognition of the state of Israel, and acceptance of previous agreements. Hamas rejected those changes, which led to the Quartet suspending its foreign assistance program and Israel imposing economic sanctions on the Hamas-led administration.[57][58] In March 2007, a national unity government headed by Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas was briefly formed, but this failed to restart international financial assistance.[59] Tensions over control of Palestinian security forces soon erupted in the 2007 Battle of Gaza,[59] after which Hamas took control of Gaza, while its officials were ousted from government positions in the West Bank.[59] Israel and Egypt then imposed an economic blockade of the Gaza Strip, on the grounds that Fatah forces were no longer providing security there.[60] In 2011, Hamas and Fatah announced a reconciliation agreement that provides for creation of a joint caretaker Palestinian government.[61] Progress stalled, until an April 2014 agreement to form a compromise unity government, with elections to be held in late

The Israel-Gaza conflict was started by Israel in The Gaza Strip, ruled by Hamas, an Islamic military group. It was started after Hamas fired rockets Israeli cities and infrastructures. Israel spent seven weeks on this conflict. This conflict, lead to deaths of thousands of people. Most of them were Gazans. The operation was started to stop Gaza from firing rockets into Israel. Even more rockets were fired after Israel destroyed the suspects of the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli tennagers by two men from Hamas. Gaza's goal was to cause other countries to pressure Israel into lifting its barrier on Gaza. They wanted another country to guarantee that Israel will agree with the cease-fire, release Palestinian prisoners, and break its national isolation. On August 10, an Egyptian cease-fire proposal was agreed to by Israeli and Palestinian officials. On August 13, the cease-fire was continued for another 120 hours. This allowed both sides to have time for more negotiations for a long-term solution to the fighting. On August 19, the cease-fire 24 hour ceasefire was broken with 29 Hamas rockets fired in 20 minutes. On August 21, Israel fired rockets which killed three Hamas commanders. Much more fighting continued over the next couple of days. On August 26, another ceasefire was agreed upon, which still stands to this day. Benjamin Netanyahu blamed Hamas for the Israel-Gaza conflict and

Pappe documents the events that led to the mass expulsion of Palestinians from their lands, beginning with the Zionist vision from the partition plan, forward. Also, Pappe uses oral history to fill the gaps in the Palestinians narrative, along with military archives, and Ben-Gurion’s diary. The Jewish National Fund contained files that were used to systematically eliminate Arab villages, and Plan D provides the

Under the Labor Party, the Oslo Accord Declaration of Principle on Interim Self-Government Arrangements, the Cairo Agreement on Palestinian Self-Rule in Gaza and Jericho, and Oslo II were signed, which were two landmark agreements in which Israel and the PLO recognized each side’s right to exist and not to do anything that would lead to aggression or violence. (However, because of domestic politics, both sides have continued to engage in violence.) In letters from Yitzhak Rabin and Yasir Arafat, they recognize each other and their right to exist. Within the agreed minutes to the Principles on Self-Government, they promise not to do anything that would cause violence. This is also repeated in the Cairo Agreement. Specifically, this is listed in Article XII of the Cairo Agreement, which states that “Israel and the Palestinian Authority shall seek to foster mutual understanding and tolerance and shall accordingly abstain from incitement, including hostile propaganda, against each other.” The Labor Party is in favor of dismantling illegal outposts. Amir Peretz told the Israeli newspaper Ha’aretz on December 27, 2005 that “The outposts (settlements built without formal permission by the Israeli government) are damaging Israel’s image as a lawful state. While Sharon continues funneling resources to the outposts he ignores the periphery towns, the Negev and the Galiee.” The Labor Party also is in favor of freezing

Israel repeatedly refused to withdraw its troops at a rate and to the extent contemplated under the agreements, and continued its settlement of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Palestinians, meanwhile, violated restrictions on the number of persons under arms. Israel also charged that the Palestinian Authority failed to take adequate steps to halt attacks on Israeli civilians by armed Palestinian groups, or to stem ‘incitement’ to violence against Israel.” Neither side could agree on anything because there was no trust between the two them. The Office of The Historian declares that “At the prime minister’s insistence, Clinton convened a summit at Camp David in July 2000, where he, Barak, and Arafat attempted to reach a final agreement on the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Accounts differ as to why Camp David failed, but it is clear that despite additional concessions by Barak, the Israelis and Palestinians remained strongly at odds over borders, Jerusalem, and whether Israel would recognize Palestinian refugees’ “right of return.” The summit ended without a settlement; Clinton would blame Arafat for its failure.” By December of 2000, the riots had already been in action since September and the violence between the Israelis and Palestinians was brutal (Office of the Historian). Bill Clinton, President of the United States had been pushing for the peace between Israel and Palestine and was a

"Currently, the Israeli government is not only attacked from the outside, but also inside the country also" wiped out "its own people." He disclosed.

One decade later, the religious Zionists and the Likud are exchanging "niceties"; each faction blaming the other for the expulsion from Gush Katif. After Naftali Bennet stated this morning that the Likud is to blame, Dr. Chaim Shein claimed that the religious Zionist leadership was not firm enough in their campaign against the expulsion.

Despite Israel’s best efforts to avoid harming non-combatants, there were many civilian injuries and deaths were reported in Gaza. As in prior Israel-Hamas conflicts, Hamas had deliberately placed its operational centers, storage facilities and rocket launching sites, infiltration tunnels, in densely populated areas, including private homes, mosques, schools and medical facilities, a violation of the Law of Armed Conflict (which prohibits a party to hostilities

In 1979 the Arab Israeli conflict took a turn for the good when Israel and Egypt Signed a peace treaty at Camp David. The treaty was a trade that Israel would Give Egypt The Sinai Peninsula and Egypt would have peace with Israel. In 1994 Yitzhak Rabin Prime Minister of Israel and Yasser Arifat head Of the Palestine Liberation Organization signed a peace treaty that Israel gave the Palistine Liberation Organization the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and Israel got peace, but after the treaty was signed there were still many terrorist attacks on Israel and November 4th 1995 Prime Minister Rabin was assassinated by a Israel man who saw that the peace treaty wasn't working and didn't believe in trading land that Israel fought for in many wars for peace that wasn't working.

This plan was to create Arab and Jewish states from Palestine. The Jewish public accepted this plan but the Arabs rejected it.

After more than 50 years of war, terrorism, peace negotiation and human suffering, Israel and Palestine remain as far from a peaceful settlement as ever. The entire Middle Eastern region remains a cauldron waiting to reach the boiling point, a potent mixture of religious extremism, (Jewish, Christian and Islamic), mixed with oil and munitions.
