Chapter 17: The Arab\u2013Israeli Conflict, 1948\u20132024<\/h1>\n\n\n
\n

This chapter looks at the Arab\u2013Israeli conflict. It starts with an examination of the root causes of this conflict which lie in the competition between two national projects, one Zionist and one Palestinian, laying claim to the same territory. The chapter then shows how British mandate policies between 1922 and 1948 exacerbated Arab\u2013Jewish tensions in Palestine. The establishment of the State of Israel in May 1948 turned the communal conflict into an inter-state one as Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq declared war on Israel. The inter-state dynamics characterized the next five decades with further wars fought in 1956, 1967, 1973 and 1982. In these wars the Palestinians were largely side-lined. This chapter explains how the outbreak of the 1987 intifada refocused the conflict on Israel and the Palestinians. It also examines the various attempts at bringing about peace. Here it looks at the 1979 Camp David Accords, the failed 1993\u20132000 Oslo process, the 1994 negotiations between Israel and Jordan, the 1994\u20132000 negotiations between Israel and Syria, and the post-Oslo American initiatives from Annapolis to the 2020 Abraham Accords. The 2006 Lebanon war and 2006\u201323 Gaza wars are also discussed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
