Camp David Accords

The conflict between Palestinian Arabs and Jews is a modern phenomenon, which began around the turn of the 20th century. Although these two groups have different religions (Palestinians include Muslims, Christians and Druze), religious differences are not the cause of the conflict. It is essentially a struggle over land. Until 1948, the area that both groups claimed was known internationally as Palestine. But following the war of 1948-49, this land was divided into three parts: the state of Israel

Peter McFadden Period 3 11-17-2015 The Solution To Save Many Lives From The War Over Land Between Israel And Palestine Mr. Virmani World History Honors The Arab-Israeli conflict is a battle for land between two sides. One side is the Arabian community and the other side is the Palestinian community. The Arabians are saying that the land belongs to them because God told them that it was their promised land or holy land. The Palestinians are coming into the land a attempting to claim it as theirs

Subsequently, in the year 2000, Camp David was organized by Bill Clinton in his effort to address the final issues of the Oslo Agreement which were boarders, Jerusalem and refugees. In this peace talk, the Palestinians were represented by Arafat while the Israelis were represented by Barak. Arafat and Barak failed to agree in the talk as the maximum Barak could offer was less than the minimum Arafat would accept (Reynolds). Subsequent peace talks after Camp David also faced similar problems. Israel’s

The newly conquered territory increased the size of Israel by a factor of four and placed one million more Arabs under the control of Israel. In addition to the Arabs under Israeli control, one million Arab refugees were created to join the refugee camps in neighboring countries. The 1967 war had huge political significance. Israel showed the world that it was able to defend its territory and that it was able, and prepared to launch strategic strikes that could result in gaining territory and upsetting

personality types as defined by James David Barber: passive-positive, passive-negative, active-positive and active-negative. This personality type defines who they are and how they choose to go about both their lives and their presidency. President Jimmy Carter falls into the category of active-positive, which means that he is someone that works actively towards their goals and enjoys doing so. From the beginning of his life to this

was in effect, the war continued as Arabs closed the Suez Canal to Israel shipping and Israel (in retaliation) did not allow the 700,000 Arab refugees return to their homes (Regan 22). The problem was that no Arab State wanted those refugees so camps were set up in Gaza Strip, which was controlled by Egypt, and the West Bank, which was controlled by Jordan (23). This inability to find a “home land” for the people now called Palestinians would lead to many of Israel’s conflicts with the Arab world

The middle east has always struggled to find peace with its surrounding countries and the many groups which they consist of. Yasser Arafat made many contributions to the multiple disagreements and conflicts that affected the middle east. Born in Jerusalem, Israel  in 1929, Yasser Arafat became an important leader for the Palestinian people. He had dreams that one day Palestine would become its own state. Arafat was president of Palestinian Authority and later gained control of the PLO (Palestine

it looked like the miraculous had happened when the Oslo Accords were signed by Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) Chairman Yasser Arafat on the White House South Lawn. However, the objectives of the historic accords were never fully implemented and the Palestinians remain a stateless nation. Further steps toward Israeli-Arab peace, including the Cairo Agreement, Oslo II and the Camp David Summit, have fallen short of the goals of both parties. When

The turmoil in the Levant region is constantly viewed as an ancient conflict that has been going on for centuries, fueled by religious hatred. In reality the current conflict has less to do with religion than the conflicting claims of two groups to the same region. These claims were made in the early 20th century, anticipating the fall of the Ottoman Empire, with the backing of British promises of an independent state for both sides. These claims stoked nationalism on both sides. The regional arabs
