disagreements among international actors that have influenced how the conflict has played out since the boundaries of Israel were drawn up after World War II. 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

The First Intifada changed the direction of the peace process and affected every Palestinians’ life. The Intifada was a mass movement against the Israeli authority through boycotts, civil disobedience and general strikes. Israel reacted to the Intifada by deploying 80,000 troops to stop the uprising by “breaking Palestinians’ bones”[Footnote].
