U.s. State Of New Jersey

Since his presidency did not begin with Israel becoming a state, his focus was greatly adjusted and at first there was a noticeable decline in aid and care for Israel’s wellbeing. Israel was also rather vulnerable during this time, due to the fact that there more Jewish refugees entering Israel from surrounding Arab states. President Eisenhower convincingly proved that America had the ability to influence Israel in a good way, although his presidency ended with the Middle East still in a state of war. During Eisenhower’s administration, there were two successful incidents of U.S. management of Israel and in both circumstances, Eisenhower avoided the political compulsions of America’s attachment to Israel and instead forced the Israelis to act upon principle. Unfortunately, his presidency was the last to give Israel undivided focus, for the ones to follow were absorbed in other affairs and did not provide the same constructive support.

• President Carter arranged the Camp David Peace Accords between Israel and Egypt. (In the Middle East, America favored the country of Israel. The Soviet Union favored Israel’s Arab neighbors.)

Since then, Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War the two most major conflicts between the Israelis and the Arabs. The former, in 1967, was a show of superior military force from Israel, launching preemptive strikes after battles were being fought between them and Arab forces. In 1973, Syrian and Egyptian armies launched a surprise attack while Israel was observing Yom Kippur. The war that followed lasted only 20 days, but cost at least 10 thousand lives. In 1978, The Egyptian President and Prime Minister of Israel met with Jimmy Carter in Camp David in order to attempt establishing peace in the Middle East. The resulting document, the Camp David Accords, states, “The agreed basis for a

Israel is a country in Western Asia, situated at the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It shares land borders with Lebanon to the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan on the east, the Palestinian territories comprising the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the east and west, respectively, Egypt to the southwest,

For instance, the Camp David Accords ended the war and constant tension between Egypt and Israel. The two countries had been at odds since the foundation of Israel in the mid-nineteen hundreds. Wars raged on between them for decades without any solution, until Anwar Sadat was elected president of Egypt. His goal was to return Egypt to its former state, which included regaining the land that was lost due to war with Egypt and finally bringing

If it weren’t for his personality type, it is highly doubtful that President Carter would have acted in the manner he had. The relations between Israel and Egypt were very stilted due to Khartoum Resolution drawn upon following the Six-Day War. It was risk for the United States to become involved in such affairs but President Carter acted in the manner he felt was right and because he wanted to and this action thereby helped lead to the peace between Israel and Egypt that would come from the Camp David Accords. He was unwavering in his goal to achieve peace between the two countries and he refused to take no for an answer and eventually, an agreement was reached thanks to his insistence. Later on in life, Jimmy Carter would win a Nobel peace prize for “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development,” a part of which was credited to the Camp David Accords. President Jimmy Carter showed in this action his orientation through productiveness and his willingness to follow through. These are essential qualities of being an active-positive president, which Carter has proved to be despite the strenuous conditions that he faced

The administrations hoped by resolving the issues between the two that the rest of the Arab states would resolve their conflicts and support the United States. Nasser was sent to support the needs of Egypt and the Arab states and return the land taken by Israel and get them to stop creating settlements in return for peace. Before the peace treaty could be discussed further, Britain and France aided Israel in an attack on Egypt taking the Sinai

Most important agreement was between US and Israel then between Israel and Egypt (Telhamy 630).

“Peace Not Apartheid” impacted the conflict by showing how Jimmy Carter truly felt on the issue, or at least how he has felt in more recent years considering it was only published about 10 years ago. It showed a more one-sided view, a side that was for a Palestinian State, because, according to Carter’s views, since the Israelis took land away from the Palestinians, Israel does not deserve the land and should give it back to the Palestinians as a start toward peace. The book also created much controversy and for Israelis to begin to ignore him altogether, because now he is seen as a sort of wrecking ball for Israel, and will no longer meet with him at all, relatively stating that people who bring harm to Israel shall not be negotiated with. The impact from this book on the Palestinians created the point that now Hamas is willing to listen to Jimmy Carter. Due to the sort of backlash toward “Peace Not Apartheid,” he published “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land.” This book outlined a calmer, balanced view rather than a harsh view, which impacted the conflict causing the Israelis to open up a bit more to his ideals, but still being cautious. Jimmy Carter relatively states that now is a good time to strive for peace because the road to it

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most controversial conflicts in modern history. The expansion of Israel since 1947 is seen as the beginning of the conflict, although its origins go back to the end of the 19th century, when Jewish immigration to Palestine began to increase. Since the start of the conflict, several peace negotiations have been carried out, resulting in variable degrees of success.

On May 15, Anwar Sadat, the Speaker of the National Assembly would visit Moscow, where he would be told by the Soviets that Israel had planned to invade Syria during the May 16 through May 22 time frame, all of this would prove to be false. Soviet intelligence cited the fact that Israeli troops parading in western Jerusalem, for Israel’s Independence Day, were doing so without heavy weapons, which they said were being amassed along the northern border with Syria. The reason as it turns out they were devoid of weaponry during their parades is to ease Arab tensions in the area. Sadat would pass this information along to Egypt and President Nasser, who would then parade Egypt’s forces through Cairo along its way to the Sinai Peninsula (Cleveland, 2009).

By 1978 the thirty-year war that had been fought between Egypt and Israel had come to a point where there was a chance for peace. The area that had been at the center of the turmoil was the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. The problem was that both countries believed that they had the rights to this land: Israel, biblically and Egypt, politically. So an invitation by President Jimmy Carter to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel was extended. The invitation was for a meeting in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland at the presidential retreat, Camp David. The meeting was so that the framework of a peace agreement, known as the Camp David

In 1996 Israel signed a peace treaty with Jordan. Israel is currently Trying to make a treaty with Syria but It hasn't happened yet because Syria wants The Golan Hights an Israel dosent wasn't to give it to them. Since 1947 Israel has had war with many Arab countries. They have gained alot of land through war but later gave it away in peace treaties. There are many people who disagree in giving away the land.

The ethnic conflict in the Middle East dates back to biblical times as both the Israeli and the Palestinian nations claim territories in the area of Palestine from over two thousand years ago. Because of the religious significance of many of its sites to both religions and nations, Jerusalem is by far the most heavily disputed area. After World War II, with the help of Britain from the Balfour treaty, the Jewish state of Israel was founded in Palestine. The Jewish people were in dire need of its own state for the purposes of stability and protection. The formation of the state led to six wars between the Israelis and their Arab neighbors. Up until the Madrid Conference held in 1991, Egypt was the only Arab state to meet and negotiate peace with Israel. They had

Keeping these thoughts in mind I will investigate some key issues that affect the progress towards peace in the region including the relationship that exists between the United States and Israel; the 2002 Road Map to Peace and why it failed; and finally the effect of Arafat?s death and the implications for the future.
