Top 7 military conflicts today. War of Israel and Palestine
) Arabs territory of Palestine, where in the first millennium BC. There were Jewish states. With the transition of the territory of Palestine under the British control over the results of the First World War, the Zionist movement only intensified. This caused conflicts with the local Arab population and even grew into a three -year Arab uprising in 1936, suppressed by British troops.
Wanting to avoid unnecessary tension in the mandated region, the British authorities tried to slow down the process of settlement of the territory by Jews. Everything changed the Second World War, when a significant number of representatives of the Jewish people emigrated to Palestine illegally. In 1945, the Zionists supported the United States. It became obvious that the end of British domination in the region was approaching. However, his future had to decide the UN.
There were two options for the arrangement of Palestine - the Confederation of Arabs and Jews or the formation of two independent states. At a meeting of the UN General Assembly, on November 29, 1947, the second option was adopted - the formation of a Jewish state, which was to occupy 56. 47% of the crushed British government of Palestine, and the Arab state, which was to occupy 43. 53% of land. Jerusalem had to remain under international control and open to both peoples.
The problem was that in 1947 in Palestine lived twice as many Arabs as Jews. So as soon as Palestine left the last British soldier formed the day before the state, Israel declared a war at once 6 Arab states - Egypt, Transjordan, Syria, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The first four from the list of these countries introduced troops into Palestine. This was only the first of the whole series of Arab-Israeli wars that took place in the XX century.
It ended with the occupation of the Jewish state part of the territories that, according to the UN General Assembly resolution, should be Arabic. The de facto resolution of November 29, 1947 was never put into practice. Almost every new aggression of the Arabs against the Jewish state was captured by new territories.
After the six -day war of 1967, Israel occupied several times larger territory than its own area - the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Sector, the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Golan Heights. The Government of the Jewish state stated that they would return these lands if the Arab states recognize its right to exist. In response, the Arabs began to join the ranks of the Liberation of Palestine, which was formed in 1964 (RAM).
In the 1970s and 1980s, it gained considerable popularity among the world community, even though it did not neglect to carry out terrorist attacks against Jews as in Palestine, Kazk and beyond. Finally, in 1988, the leader of the RAM Jasir Arafat announced the creation of an independent Palestinian state. As a wise politician, a month later, he gave up terrorist activity and began to seek opportunities for peace talks with Israel.
On September 13, 1993, in Washington, through the mediation of US President, Bill Clinton, Izhak Rabin - on behalf of Israel - and Yasir Arafata - on behalf of Palestine - signed an agreement on the formation of Palestinian autonomy. After that, Israel removed his troops from the west bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Sector. Palestine received self -government, but not recognition. Both peoples have ambiguously accepted this agreement.
On November 4, 1995, the Jewish nationalist killed the premiere of Rabbi, avenged for recognition of Palestinian autonomy. In the following decades, Israel has repeatedly occupied the territory of autonomy. However, he no longer resorted to annexation. At the same time, the controversial territories are actively mastered by Jewish colonists.
In the end, with the support of the United States, Israel has achieved a large number of annexation of Eastern Jerusalem and the transfer of embassies there (that is, in fact the recognition of the city by the capital of the Jewish state). In 2020, the so -called Abraham agreements were signed, designed to normalize relations between Israel and Arab countries.
Over the past two years, there have been two vivid conflicts between Israel and Palestine with mutual shelling of territories and victims on both sides. The latter ended in early August 2022 by another truce. But will it last at least next year? The final completion of the conflict is not envisaged in the near future, since the subject for compromise is not visible.
