Peace : A Power Sharing Approach

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has proven to be one of the most complex and “intractable” conflicts of modern history – or as some may even add – of all time. And after many decades of failed attempts at peacemaking in this region, there still seems to be no conceivable end to the conflict. During those same decades, most of the parties involved as well as the international community have embraced the idea of a two-state solution, but the question we pose today asks whether this solution is still a viable option considering the present context, and if not, is it finally time to consider a one-state solution? This essay will argue that although a two-state solution remains the more

In each of the three books, the main character goes on a strenuous mental journey. Whether its Gene and his road to self-acceptance, Ishmael and his strive for humanity, or Henry and his endeavor for courage, they each struggle to reach their final destination of happiness and self-worth. This is evident in the line cited from A Separate Peace, “I had no qualms at all; in fact I could feel now gathering, glowing sense of sureness in the face of it.” This line shows Gene finally at peace with his personal nature. This is evident again in the line, “I have been rehabilitated now, so don’t be afraid of me. I am not a soldier anymore; I am a child.” This is line is spoken by Ishmael Bah, author of A Long Way Gone, and shows Ishmael conveying

Brokers of deceit is concise and easily accessible examination of how over more than thirty decades the U.S. has been gaming the peace process for it’s own benefit rather than to achieving a lasting and just peace between the Israeli and Palestinian people.

The thesis of this article is an examination of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and both the things that have prevented it from being resolved as well as potential solutions or measures directed at establishing peace. The Author’s major arguments in this article start with Israel and how they feel that they have a Biblical right to occupy the areas of the West Bank. The author then goes on to discuss how the Palestinians also feel that they have a right to this land as a birthright because they have occupied this land over time as their own. After discussing why both sides feel as if they deserve to call the land in conflict their own he discusses neither side is happy with what is going on. In this section he discusses how the Israelis

Even though there has been repeated pursuits to end the rivalry between the Palestinians and Israelis, there is no sign of an agreement in view. Neither side has satisfied the promises it made under the 2003 plan – a phased agenda constructed to point to a feasible Palestinian state

For centuries nations have effortly tried to gain peace between Israel and Palestine, but it has proven to be an impossible task. The problem isn’t only in the current political situation and relations between the countries, with every new born generation it flames it’s distant past. There are two groups are fighting for the same small territory, with both having deep ties to the land. The states both having reasonable argument, of historical and religious background, and within confines, two nationally distinct groups, who are divided by language, culture, and history, cannot live wholly apart or wholly together.

The purpose of the research “How has Palestinian application for UN membership and statehood recognition affected the advancement of the peace process between Israel and Palestine?“ was to provide a thorough examination of the Arab-Israeli conflict and estimate the possible courses of its development in case of UN interference into the matter.

Since the last failed initiative to make peace between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in 2014, which was an American led initiative taken on by Secretary of State John Kerry, it has only become more evident that the death of the two-state solution is slowly approaching. Settlement growth in the West Bank, which is deemed internationally illegal, has continued to expand at an unprecedented rate and is often cited as detrimental to the peace process. The rise in power and hostility of Hamas in the Gaza Strip is also a large security concern to the Israelis and a political fear for the Fatah led government in the PA. Despite these issues, the two-state solution is not dead yet. With a

As Israel and Palestine struggle to compromise over the notion of a two-state solution, the possibility of a one-state solution could change long-standing opinions, and could impact the futures of both sides. The highly controversial two-state solution is possible because of Israel’s aversion to the one-state solution, the changing youth of Palestine, and the balance required to regain peace.

This paper will focus on the armed conflict between Palestine, specifically the Hamas-backed Gaza strip and the state of Israel that has led to the loss of many lives on both sides, while at the same time, created tensions between state actors that make the idea of this conflict being eventually resolved almost impossible unless there is some major change in the internal and external environment. The armed conflict that the paper describes is between Hamas which is viewed as a Islamist terrorist group by Israel, the United States and several other countries with their ultimate goal being winning back the land that they claim to be theirs and also turning Palestine into an Islamic fundamentalist state. On the other hand, the state of Israel defines itself as a Jewish and Democratic State, with 75% of their population being Jewish which would make it a Jewish majority state. Israel also governs itself on the Basic Laws of Israel, which include the Israeli nationality law that in effect grants the right to all Jewish people the right to return to Israel and automatically be able to receive Israeli citizenship and establishes Jerusalem as the

Few, if any, modern conflicts are as complex as the Arab-Israeli conflict. Specifically, the political situation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip has led to bloodshed, political high wire acts, and cycles of hope and disappointment for decades. Consensus has generally leaned towards advocated a two-state solution for the conflict, in which the Israel remains a Jewish state, and the Palestinian Arabs establish their own country carved from currently Israeli-occupied territories. This solution has become more infeasible, not more attainable, efforts to find a lasting peace have occurred. The main alternative, a one-state solution, in which one nation takes full control of the Israel, the West Bank, and the Gaza Strip,

It seems that the Arab-Israeli conflict is not going to be resolved. The conflict took many thousands of lives. There are millions of refugees both in the Arab states, and in Israel. Both Arab and Jewish people sustain economic, physical and moral losses. These losses make the hostile parties accept inevitable truces. The forces of peoples and the international communities try to promote peace-making. For many years the problem of this conflict has been solved by the UN Security Council, the EU, and even was discussed at the Group of Eight summits. However it is not possible to find any consensus, owing to obvious unwillingness of different

The recent affair in Israel seems to be escalating everyday as the Israelis and Palestinians are clashing over the costs of past events and the conflict has been one of the most unstable and constant wars in modern world history. The Israeli military have continued to occupy Palestinian Territories and on a daily basis, inhabitants of those lands have been killed, injured or kidnapped. Despite recent major Israeli violence, Palestinians have created pacific marches and demonstrations in the West Bank and Gaza, to retaliate. There have been attempts by other nations such as neighbouring Arab nations, the USA, Britain and USSR, to solve the crisis, although, their intervention have seemed to make the situation even worse. According to

For many centuries, Judaic and Arabian societies have engaged in one of the most complicated and lengthy conflicts known to mankind, the makings of a highly difficult peace process. Unfortunately for all the world’s peacemakers the Arab-Israeli conflict, particularly the war between Israel and the Palestinian Territories, is rooted in far more then ethnic tensions. Instead of drawing attention towards high-ranking officials of the Israeli government and Hamas, focus needs to be diverted towards the more suspect and subtle international relations theory of realism which, has imposed more problems than solutions.

Since the early 20th Century, Israelis and Palestinians have been fighting over the land between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. With the assumption that Palestine is a state to facilitate discussion, this report sketches out the most significant elements of the conflict on the three levels defined by Kenneth Waltz, and applies the Realist theory of international relations (IR) to the “Two-State” solution.
