The Arab-Israeli conflict is a
dispute over the control of
Palestine, or Israel, a narrow strip of
land on the eastern coast of the
Mediterranean.

The Jewish claim is based partly on the ancient ties of the Jewish people to the Biblical
kingdom of Israel, and partly on the fact that, in 1947, the United Nations granted them the right
to establish a homeland there.

The Palestinian claim relies on the
fact that their people have lived on this land for
many hundreds of
years.

The land is holy to three faiths – Christians, Jews and Muslims – and the conflict is also a religious clash between
Jews and Muslims.

Anti-semitism in Europe and Russia during the late 19th century drove many Jews – known as
Zionists – to seek sanctuary in Palestine, where they hoped to build an independent
Jewish state.

Under the British Mandate (1920-1948), clashes between Jewish settlers and
Arabs became increasingly violent.

Jewish emigration to Palestine accelerated during the 1930s, particularly following the
Nazi takeover of Germany. After the Holocaust, the international community found it harder to
ignore Jewish demands for an independent
homeland.

By 1947, the British wished to end their mandate and requested help from the United Nations. In November 1947, the UN devised a plan to divide Palestine into two states, one
Jewish, one Arab. The Jews accepted the plan,
but the Arabs rejected it.

Fighting between the two sides broke out immediately. In the midst of this war, on
May 15, 1948, the British departed Palestine and Jewish leaders declared
the founding of the state of Israel.

Six neighboring Arab countries immediately invaded the new state.
Although outnumbered, the well-
organized Israeli forces held their own and even advanced into territory beyond
that allocated to them by the UN plan.

By the war’s end, Israel controlled 77 percent of Palestine, while its Arab foes
took over the remaining portions. Transjordan (Jordan) occupied the West
Bank and Egypt occupied Gaza in the southwest.

The Palestinian Arab state proposed by the UN was never established. During the
war, around 726,000 Palestinians fled Israel to become refugees in the West
Bank, Gaza and neighboring Arab states.

None of the Arab state recognized Israel’s right to exist, and the following years were marked by frequent border
skirmishes.

In June 1967, fearing imminent attack, Israel launched pre-emptive strikes against Egypt,
Jordan and Syria. In just six days, the Israelis captured Gaza and the Sinai from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria, and the West Bank
from Jordan.

Over 750,000 Palestinian Arabs found themselves under the control of the Jewish
state. Many turned their support to the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO), a coalition of Palestinian groups that began engaging in terrorist activity against Israel.

In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a joint invasion of Israel. After making early gains, the Arab forces were pushed back. Israel won the
war, but suffered heavy losses and was shaken by the surprise attack.

In 1978, Israel and Egypt negotiated a peace agreement at Camp David in the
U.S.A., including the withdrawal of Israel
from Sinai.

In 1982, Israel invaded Lebanon,
hoping to drive out PLO fighters who
had been attacking in the north. After a
long, costly operation, the
Israelis succeeded in forcing the PLO
from Lebanon. unc.edu

During the 1980s, Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza grew increasingly
frustrated by the continuing Israeli occupation and in 1987, they bean a mass uprising known
as the ‘intifada’ (awakening).

There were riots in many of the towns and cities of the occupied territories. By the time the intifada ended in 1993, over
1,000 Palestinians had been killed.

In the early 1990s, Israel began peace negotiations with its Arab neighbors and the PLO, which led to the Oslo Accords,
signed in 1993.

Under its terms, Israel agreed to a staged withdrawal from the occupied territories. Israel
would retain military control there while a
newly established Palestinian Authority (PA) would take civil
control.

By the late 1990s, the peace process had stalled. Islamist groups within the Palestinian community (PA) – such as Hamas and Islamic
Jihad – opposed any peace with Israel and carried out terrorist attacks against Israel.

Israel continued to build Jewish settlements in the occupied territories.
Renewed attempts to reach a peace deal
in 1998 and 2000 both failed.

A second intifada erupted in September 2000. This time, as well as rioting across the occupied territories, there was a rise
in terrorist attacks, including suicide
bombings, inside Israel.

Israel responded with ruthless acts of its own; reoccupying PA-controlled West
Bank towns to destroy the terrorist bases there.

In 2003, the UN drew up a ‘road map to peace’, detailing the route to a two-state solution to the
conflict, but negotiations soon faltered in the face of renewed violence. Israel unilaterally
withdrew from Gaza in 2005; the territory subsequently fell under the control of Hamas.

In late 2008, Israel launched an offensive in Gaza in response to continued rocket attacks by Hamas militants, at a cost of
over 1,000 Palestinian lives.
