The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Paper Summary:

This paper introduces, discusses, and analyzes the topic of the Arab-Israeli Conflict. Specifically, it discusses diplomacy regarding the Arab-Israeli conflict during the period December 1968 - September 1973. The paper concludes that, even though diplomacy throughout the Middle East occurred from the end of the Six-Day War in 1967 to the Yom Kippur War in 1973, it did not solve the crisis in the Arab-Israeli Conflict, and it has not solved the problems in the region even today.

From the Paper:

"One of the reasons diplomacy was so necessary was because of the Israeli occupation of several territories during the Six-Day War. They took over eastern Jerusalem, the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights, and streams of refugees left these areas after Israeli occupation, creating widespread relocation and resentment throughout the Arab world. This was the main reason so many Arab nations refused to negotiate with Israel. Even the UN resolution cited the need for Israel to return at least some of the contested territories, but Israel refused without direct negotiations, and the other participants simply refused those direct negotiations.
