Efforts to bring peace
From a historical perspective, we can not separate the negotiation and peace process. Since the first plan on the division of Palestine was established in 1937, and international efforts to resolve the conflict had begun,there were many efforts to communicate. The idea was to create an international conference to resolve the conflict. On the basis of United Nations Resolutions, 181, 194, 242 and 338 it had been recognized that the Palestine Liberation Organization is the only legal representative to the Palestinian people. Chief representatives of the organization decided to initiate the peace process with Israel, with guarantees that this process will be conducted on the basis of international law and UNSC. Former Egypt in 1978, concluded with Israel, the Camp-David agreement. The first intifada uprising-the Palestinian people. In December 1987, the Palestinian question returned to the scene. A milestone in the peace process was the Madrid conference, held in October 1990 on the invitation of U.S. President George Bush. Informal and private discussions between Israeli and Palestinian leaders resulted in the signing of dhody in Oslo 13th September 1993. This created an presumption of Yasser Arafat to return home to prepare the construction of the Palestinian National Authority. This on the other hand created preconditions for the declaration of an independent Palestinian State, which would take place after the departure of the Israeli army the 4th June 1967, i.e. Gaza Strip, West Bank and east Jerusalem. These are according with Unfortunately, it was not in our power to get to deal with all the issues related to the final settlement of this conflict. Under the original agreement 5 lines of questions where not brought up : the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Jewish settlements in the occupied territories, water, borders and security. These issues had to wait until May 1999 to be negociated. And even then, sadly, Israel was unwilling to agree. Their main response was that "there are no sacred dates of the final." In late 1999, the interest of flexibility led to negotiations at Camp-David. The Palestinian side clearly sought full sovereignty over East Jerusalem. Israeli Prime Minister Barak came with five not known opinions on the refusal of the right of Palestinians to return. Camp-David 2000 was also unsuccessful for the same reasons. As a result from the Palestinian peoples frustration the second intifada erupted in October 2000. President Clinton came up with proposals that did not meet Palestinian requirements. In March 2002, the summit of the Arab League in Beirut adopted the so-called "Arabic peace initiative" for the first time in history. The Arab countries as a whole, offered Israel a global solution to the conflict. It suggested the return of Israeli troops beyond the invasion of the 4th of June 1967. And to address the problem of Palestinian refugees in accordance with UN General Assembly Resolution. 194, of all the Arab countries made peace with Israel. Arab initiative was adopted by the Islamic Conference. Today that would mean 57 countries, which represent more than one billion three hundred million Muslims. Israel's response to this initiative was more aggression and war. This peace initiative |
