    Study Notes

    History of Israel and Palestine

    • The land of Israel and Palestine has changed hands many times throughout history due to battles for control
    • The establishment of Jewish, Christian, and Muslim religions made the land, especially Jerusalem, a uniquely holy place
    • For about 1,000 years in the Middle Ages, Arabs controlled the area and lived relatively peacefully with Jews

    World War I and the Rise of Zionism

    • Around 1900, the idea of statehood emerged, and many Jews wanted a country of their own
    • Large numbers of Jews started returning to Palestine with the goal of creating a Jewish state
    • World War I led to the defeat of the Ottoman Empire, and the British were given a mandate over Palestine
    • Jewish Zionists seized the opportunity to accelerate their plan for statehood

    Post-WWII and the Establishment of Israel

    • After WWII, hundreds of thousands of Jews came to Palestine, and the UN General Assembly passed a plan to divide Palestine into independent Arab and Jewish states
    • The Arab League rejected the plan, and the Jewish leadership declared the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948
    • Israel gained recognition from the US, Soviet Union, and other countries
    • Arab countries invaded Palestine, but Israel emerged victorious, controlling 60% of the land originally planned for the Arab state
    • Over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs fled or were kicked out of their homes, while a similar number of Jews migrated to Israel from Arab lands

    Six-Day War and its Consequences

    • In 1967, Israel launched a surprise invasion, winning control of the Gaza Strip, West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Golan Heights
    • Fewer than 1,000 Israeli troops were killed, while over 20,000 Arab soldiers died, went missing, or were captured
    • Hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs left their homes

    Modern Developments

    • Israel built up its security capabilities and constructed settlements in occupied territories, despite being declared illegal under international law
    • In 1993, Israel struck a deal with the Palestinian Liberation Organization, allowing Palestinians to set up a government in the Gaza Strip and Jericho
    • The Palestinian Authority was established, led by Yasser Arafat, but a split occurred, leading to the rise of the extremist Islamic party, Hamas
    • In 2006, Hamas won the Palestinian parliamentary election, and a violent power struggle ensued between Hamas and Fatah
    • Today, there are two distinct Palestines: the West Bank, led by Mahmoud Abbas and Fatah, and the Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas

    Solutions to the Conflict

    • The two-state solution, where Israel and Palestine would be two sovereign countries, is the most widely accepted solution
    • The one-state solution, where a single state would ensure equal rights for all citizens, is an alternative compromise
    • Obstacles to a resolution include the presence of Jewish settlers in Palestinian areas, the instability of the Gaza Strip, and control of Jerusalem
