The Arab-Israeli ConflictThe Arab-Israeli Conflict
Middle East Conflict
ZIONISMZIONISM
In 1896 following the appearance
of anti-Semitism in Europe,
Theodore Herzl, the founder of
Zionism, tried to find a political
solution for the problem in his
book, 'The Jewish State'. He
advocated the creation of a Jewish
state in Argentina or Palestine.
THE BALFOUR DECLARATIONTHE BALFOUR DECLARATION
Britain occupied the region at the
end of the World War I in 1918 and
was assigned as the mandatory
power by the League of Nations on
25 April 1920.
Then in 1917, the British Foreign Minister Arthur Balfour committed
Britain to work towards “the establishment in Palestine of a national
home for the Jewish people,” in a letter to leading Zionist Lord
Rothschild. It is known as the “_____________________________”Balfour Declaration
Wars Divide the LandWars Divide the Land
UN Partition PlanUN Partition Plan
Britain, which had ruled Palestine since 1920, handed over responsibility
for solving the Zionist-Arab problem to the UN in 1947.
The UN recommended splitting
the territory into separate
Jewish and Palestinian states.
The partition plan gave:
• 56.47% of Palestine to the
Jewish state
• 43.53% to the Arab state
• An international enclave
around Jerusalem.
• On 29 November 1947, 33
countries of the UN General
Assembly voted for partition, 13
voted against and 10 abstained.Which Countries are most likely to
vote against the U.N. Partition Plan?
Israel’s War for IndependenceIsrael’s War for Independence
The State of Israel, the first Jewish state for nearly 2,000
years, was proclaimed on May 14, 1948 in Tel Aviv. The
declaration came into effect the following day as the last
British troops withdrew.
The day after the state of Israel was declared five Arab armies from Jordan,
Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iraq immediately invaded Israel but were repulsed,
and the Israeli army crushed pockets of resistance. Armistices established
Israel's borders on the frontier of most of the earlier British Mandate Palestine.

Formation of the PLOFormation of the PLO
In January 1964, the
Palestinians created a genuinely
independent organization when
Yasser Arafat took over the
chairmanship of the Palestine
Liberation Organization (PLO)
in 1969. His Fatah organization
was gaining notoriety with its
armed operations against
Israel.
Fatah fighters inflicted heavy
casualties on Israeli troops at
Karameh in Jordan in 1968.
TerrorismTerrorism
• In the 1970s, under Yasser Arafat's leadership, PLO factions
and other militant Palestinian groups launched a series of
attacks on Israeli and other targets.
• One such attack took place at the Munich Olympics in 1972 in
which 11 Israeli athletes were killed.
The PLO Struggles for RecognitionThe PLO Struggles for Recognition
Arafat at the United NationsArafat at the United Nations
• But while the PLO pursued
the armed struggle to
"liberate all of Palestine,"
Arafat made a dramatic first
appearance at the United
Nations in 1974 mooting a
peaceful solution.
• He condemned the Zionist
project, but concluded:
The speech was a
watershed in the
Palestinians' search for
international recognition of
their cause.
"Today I have come bearing an olive branch and a freedom
fighter's gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand."
The Camp David Accords, 1979The Camp David Accords, 1979
In 1979, after intensive negotiations conducted by the U.S.,
Israel and Egypt signed the Camp David accords. A peace
treaty was concluded and Israel returned the Sinai desert to
the Egyptians. President Sadat of Egypt became the first
Arab leader to visit the Jewish state and in a sign of the new
relations between the two countries, he addressed the Israeli
parliament, the Knesset.
Sadat AssassinatedSadat Assassinated
Sadat was assassinated in 1981 by Islamist elements in the Egyptian
army, who opposed peace with Israel, during national celebrations to
mark the anniversary of the October war.
Palestinian IntifadaPalestinian Intifada
• Protest took the form of civil disobedience, general strikes, boycotts on
Israeli products, graffiti, and barricades, but it was the stone-throwing
demonstrations against the heavily-armed occupation troops that captured
international attention.
• The Israeli Defense Forces responded and there was heavy loss of life
among Palestinian civilians.
• More than 1,000 died in clashes which lasted until 1993.
A mass uprising - or intifada
against the Israeli occupation
began in Gaza and quickly
spread to the West Bank.
Palestinian IntifadaPalestinian Intifada
The Oslo Peace ProcessThe Oslo Peace Process
• The PLO, meanwhile, wanted to make peace talks work because of the
weakness of its position due to the Gulf War in 1991.
• The Palestinians consented to recognize Israel in return for the
beginning of phased dismantling of Israel's occupation.
• Negotiations culminated in the Declaration of Principles, signed on the
White House lawn and sealed with a historic first handshake between
Rabin and Yasser Arafat watched by 400 million people around the world.
The election of the left-wing
Labour government in June
1992, led by Yitzhak Rabin,
triggered a period of frenetic
Israeli-Arab peacemaking in
the mid-1990s.
Jordan-Israeli PeaceJordan-Israeli Peace
• In July 1994 Prime
Minister Mr. Rabin and
King Hussein of Jordan
signed a peace agreement
ending 46 years of war
and strained relations.
• The agreement, which
was signed at the White
House in the presence of
U.S. President Bill
Clinton, laid the
groundwork for a full
peace treaty
Turning PointTurning Point
Rabin AssassinatedRabin Assassinated
• Oslo II was greeted with little
enthusiasm by Palestinians,
while Israel's religious right was
furious at the "surrender of
Jewish land".
• Amid an incitement campaign
against Israeli Prime Minister
Yitzhak Rabin, a Jewish
religious extremist assassinated
him on 4 November, sending
shock waves around the world.
• The dovish Shimon Peres,
architect of the faltering peace
process, became prime minister.
Talks Fail, New Intifada Starts!Talks Fail, New Intifada Starts!
•After the withdrawal from Lebanon in May 2000,
attention turned back to Yasser Arafat, who was
under pressure from Barak and US President Bill
Clinton to abandon gradual negotiations and launch
an all-out push for a final settlement at the
presidential retreat at Camp David. Two weeks of
talks failed to come up with acceptable solutions to
the status of Jerusalem and the right of return of
Palestinian refugees.
• In the uncertainty of the ensuing impasse, Ariel
Sharon, the veteran right-winger who succeeded
Binyamin Netanyahu as Likud leader, toured the al-
Aqsa/Temple Mount complex in Jerusalem on 28
September. Sharon's critics saw it as a highly
provocative move. Palestinian demonstrations
followed, quickly developing into what became
known as the al-Aqsa intifada, or uprising.
