United Nations Partition Plan
In 1947, United Nations decided to recommend the idea of Jews officially living in Palestine, and that was their home, along with the existing Arabs population. However, this plan did not follow through. The plan was rejected because it did not help the future government of Palestine in any way. -
6 Day West Bank War
Multiple armies were defeated by Israel, including Palestine. This resulted to Israel taking West Bank. Israel also captured the Gaza Strip. This war only lasted for six days, June 5th through June 10th. -
Period: to
First Intifada
Palestine began having tensions with Israel. One Palestinian man killed an Israeli man in his shop, and everything went haywire from there. There was a series of murders, mostly in the Gaza Strip. This violence did calm down for a while, but continued years later to begin the second Intifada. -
Oslo Peace Accords
The Israeli Prime Minister, Yitzhak Rabin, and the Palestinian Liberation Organization signed a declaration of principles. This was an attempted plan to finally make peace. -
Wye Accords
Arafat and Israel's Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, spoke to make a deal. Arafat agreed to quit terrorism, Israel agreed to give away a small amount of their used land. Palestine agreed to withdraw the bad things they have against Israel. Not even two months after this deal, Netanyahu claimed that the Palestinians were not obeying the negotiation. Israeli pushed the deal away. -
Camp David
There is a September deadline for the Wye Accords agreement to be back in action. This does not happen and the deadline is getting closer and closer. Bill Clinton tries for peace on more time, by taking Arafat and Barak to Camp David. This summit lasted 2 weeks, but the five roadblocks to peace did not let the agreement happen. -
More Violence
Both sides were still attacking each other at this point, no matter how much effort was put into making peace. Palestinians had horrific suicide bombers, and the 9/11 attack in the U.S. was alarming to the U.S. and made them, and many other states and organizations feel hostile towards Israeli. Hamas people bombed and killed 30 people and wounded 100 at a restaurant. -
Second Intifada
Shootings, murders, and assassinations went on and this was known as the second intifada. There was more gaza strip conflict as well. -
Agreement?
Hamas and Israel decided to agree to cease fire. This agreement was meant to last a long time. The conflict hasn't ended so there is no clear winner. -
The Struggle to settle the dreading conflict
It's the current year, and the conflict still hasn't been solved due to violence, the five roadblocks, and the struggle to make decisions in order to fairly accommodate everyone. There was recently an issue where a Palestinian man was in West Bank and stabbed an Israeli man.
