For a more accurate understanding of the conflict that arose between Israel and the Palestinians should carefully consider his background, the geopolitical location of the country and the course of the conflict between states, Israel and Palestine.The history of the conflict, discussed briefly in this article.The process of confrontation developed countries is very long and very interesting way.
Palestine is a small area of the Middle East.In the same region, and it is the state of Israel, which was formed in 1948.Why become enemies of Israel and Palestine?The history of the conflict is very long and controversial.The roots of the conflict has arisen between them lie in the struggle between the Palestinian Arabs and Jews for territorial and ethnic supremacy over the region.
Background years of confrontation
Throughout the long history of Jews and Arabs coexisted peacefully in Palestine, which during the Ottoman Empire was part of the Syrian state.Indigenous peoples in the region were Arabs, but at the beginning of the XX century Jewish population began to slowly but steadily increase.The situation changed radically after World War I (1918), when the UK has received a mandate to govern the Palestinian territories, and was able to carry out their policies on these lands.
Zionism and the Balfour Declaration
have been widely Jewish colonization of Palestinian land.This was accompanied by the promotion of the national Jewish ideology - Zionism, which provides for the return of the Jewish people to their homeland - Israel.Evidence of this process is the so-called Balfour Declaration.It is a letter to the leader of the Zionist movement from the British Minister A. Balfour, which was written in 1917.In the Letter to justify the territorial claims of Jews to Palestine.The Declaration was significant public outcry, she actually started the conflict.
deepening conflict in 20-40 years of XX century
In the 20s of the last century, the Zionists began to strengthen its position, there was a military association "Haganah", and in 1935 a new, even more extremist,organization called "Irgun zwei Leumi."But radical actions have not solved the Jews, the oppression of the Palestinian Arabs carried out more peacefully.
After the Nazis came to power and the beginning of World War II, the number of Jews in Palestine was sharply increasing because of their emigration from Europe.In 1938 in the Palestinian lands inhabited by about 420,000 Jews, which is two times more than in 1932.The final purpose of their resettlement Jews saw in the complete conquest of Palestine and the creation of the state of the Jews.This is evidenced by the fact that after the war, in 1947, the number of Jews in Palestine increased by 200 thousand and has already become 620 th. People.
Israel and Palestine.The history of the conflict, attempts to solve international
In 50 years only strengthened the Zionists (Incidents of terrorism), their idea of a Jewish state had an opportunity of its realization.In addition, they actively supported the international community.1945 is characterized by a serious tension between the Palestinians and Israel.The British authorities did not know the way out of this situation, because addressed the UN General Assembly, which in 1947 took on the future of Palestine.
Exit tensions saw the UN in two versions.When the newly created department of an international organization was established by the Committee, who was involved in the affairs of Palestine, it consisted of 11 people.It was proposed to establish in Palestine two independent states - Arab and Jewish.And formed between the no-man's (international) territory - Jerusalem.The plan of the UN Committee after long discussion, was adopted in November 1947.The plan has received major international recognition, it approved both the US and the USSR, as well as directly to Israel and Palestine.The history of the conflict, all counted, had come to an end.Terms
UN resolution to resolve the conflict
According to the UN resolution of November 29, 1947, Palestinian territory was divided into two independent states - Arabic (the area of 11 thousand sq. M. Km) and Jewish (the area of 14 thousand sq. M. Km).Separately, as planned, an international zone has been established, in the city of Jerusalem.By the beginning of August 1948, English colonists, according to the plan, would have to leave the territory of Palestine.
But as soon as the Jewish state was proclaimed and became Prime Minister Ben-Gurion, the radical Zionists, who do not recognize the independence of the Arab part of the Palestinian land, in May 1948 began fighting.
acute phase of the conflict 1948-1949
What was in countries such as Israel and Palestine, the history of the conflict?How did the conflict?Let's try to give this issue a detailed response.The declaration of independence of Israel was very resonant and controversial international event.A lot of the Arab-Muslim countries have not recognized the state of Israel, he declared "jihad" (holy war against the infidels).The composition of the Arab League, which fought against Israel were Jordan, Lebanon, Yemen, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.Thus, began active operations in the center of what was Israel and Palestine.The history of the peoples of the conflict has forced even before the tragic events of the war about 300 thousand. Palestinian Arabs to leave their native lands.
Army Arab League was well organized and there were about 40 thousand. Soldiers, while Israel had only 30 thousand. Chief of the armies of the Arab League was appointed the king of Jordan.It should be noted that the United Nations called upon the parties to the world, and even developed a peace plan, but the two sides rejected it.
At first the fighting in Palestine belonged to the advantage of the Arab League countries, but the summer of 1948 the situation changed dramatically.Jewish troops went on the offensive, and within ten days repelled the onslaught of the Arabs.And already in 1949, Israel has pressed the enemy a decisive blow to the borders of Palestine, capturing so its entire territory.
mass emigration of peoples
During the conquest of Palestinian land by Jews were expelled about a million Arabs.They emigrated to neighboring Muslim countries.The reverse process has been the emigration of Jews from the countries of the Arab League in Israel.Thus completing the first military clash.Such was from countries such as Israel and Palestine, the history of the conflict.Who is to blame for the many victims, it is difficult to judge, because both sides were interested in a military solution to the conflict.
modern attitude of
How to live now Israel and Palestine?History of conflict than the end?Question without an answer, since the conflict is not settled even today.Clashes between the states continued throughout the century.This is evidenced by such conflicts as the Sinai (1956) and the Six-Day (1967) war.Thus, suddenly emerged and developed long conflict of Israel and Palestine.
It should be noted that progress towards peace still was.An example of this can be negotiations, which were held in Oslo in 1993.Between the PLO and Israel signed an agreement on the introduction in the Gaza Strip local government system.On the basis of these agreements in the next, in 1994, it founded the Palestinian National Authority, which in 2013 officially renamed to the State of Palestine.The creation of this state did not bring long-awaited peace, the conflict between Arabs and Jews is far from being resolved, since its roots are very deep and contradictory.
