'Israel-Palestine Conflict' is an ongoing conflict since the mid-20th century which has still not attained any settlement between the parties involved, it is also the conflict which has attracted lots of public opinions around the world with celebrities taking sides, public protesting around the world showing their support, foreign governments sending aids and condolences for the losses suffered, while the U.N and U.S trying to broker peace agreement between the masses which has seemed to fail each and every time! So I would like to highlight this never-ending conflict and come up with a resolution to this problem through this presentation.

2. Introduction

3. The conflict between Palestine and Israel is one of the most
highly publicized and bitter struggles of modern times.
Although the two groups have different religions, religious
differences were not the cause of the strife. The conflict
began as a struggle over land.
For the Palestinians the last 100 years have brought
colonization, expulsion and military occupation, followed by
a long and difficult search for self-determination and for
coexistence with the nation they hold responsible for their
suffering and loss.
For the Jewish people of Israel, the return to the land of their
forefathers after centuries of persecution around the world
has not brought peace or security. They have faced many
crises as their neighbors have sought to wipe their country
off the map.

mandated Palestine into a Arab state and a Jewish
State.
• Accepted by Israel, but not by Palestinians as it
was considered highly illegitimate with Israel given
larger swaths of land.
• Neighboring Arab states launched a ground
invasion to crush the Israeli state which it was able
to defend with the help from West.

21. 1967 Arab-Israel War
• Israel launches airstrikes on Egypt,
Jordan and Syria in response to built
up of Arab armies along its border.

lives of over 20,000 people on both sides.

territories it occupied in 1967, lifting of curfews
and checkpoints, and establishment of Palestine
state on West bank and Gaza Strip.
• Jordan abandoned its claim of West bank to PLO.
• An Independent State of Palestine was
proclaimed.

27. 1993 Oslo I Accord

to the resolution of the ongoing conflict.

29. 2000-2005

• Caused due to failure of Oslo process in creating right
conditions for an independent Palestine state.

democratically , which resulted in complete halt of aids
and revenues from west as Hamas doesn’t accept Israel’s
existence.
• Israel imposes a complete blockade on Gaza, not allowing
any transfer of food, water, electricity etc. , thus leading
to human catastrophe as a result of increased cross-
border firings.

41. SO HOW CAN PEACE BE ACHIEVED ?

42. Israel – Palestine Resolution
1) Apology and Forgiveness
• Both sides must forgive and accept apology.
• They should begin their own process of truth and reconcilation.
2) Recognition and Acceptance
• Palestinians and Arabs have to accept Israel as a Jewish State.
• Israel should stop intervening in Palestine’s affairs.
• No party should infiltrate each other’s territory, thus maintaining sovereignty
3) Sharing Process
• There can be no peace without economic prosperity.
• Mutual prosperity will provide a basis for overcoming mistrust, paranoia and
defensiveness.

43. 3) Rights of People not States
• They need to recognize the rights of each other’s people.
• Israel should acknowledge its role in creating the plight of Palestinian
refugees and be given freedom to live where they want.
• Palestinians should be compensated for the property that they lost in conflict.
4) Mutual Religious tolerance
• Judaism, Christianity and Islam need to acknowledge one another.
• Israel needs to recognize the legitimacy of Islam and Christianity.
• Palestinians need to acknowledge that Judaism has a deep historical
connection to Old City of Jerusalem.
5) Education and Communication
• Both should change the curricula, textbooks and other learning sources to
accept the concept of new truth.
• Both sides need to move towards re-humanization and empowerment.
• By confronting differences they will discover similarities.
