Palestine Issue
Israel Palestine conflict is the bloodiest war of the present century. Israel is the only Jews state in the world. The conflict was started in early 19th century, when after the world war 1 British issued a statement for the creation of a new Jewish state in Palestine. This declaration is known as Belfour declaration. Palestine is the holy land for the followers of all big three religions Christian, Jews and Muslims. According to Jews this is the Promised Land, and for Muslims Masjid Aqsa is their first Qibla. The state of Palestine was established in 1948 with the help of UK, USA, and other western powers. Palestine was the part of Ottoman Empire before the creation of Israel. During the Second World War Turkey was from the side of Germany & Japan, and was defeated in the war. After its defeat western powers divided the Ottoman Empire into different parts. They also created the Israel in the heart of Palestine. After its establishment Jews from all over the world started migration toward newly Promised Land.
Jews settlement in the new land was unacceptable for Arab countries, and they fought a war with Israel in 1948. Egypt, Jordan, Saudi, Syria and other Muslim countries participated against the Israel in the war. Unfortunately they were defeated Israel won the war with the help of USA. Thousands of Palestinians were killed in the war, and many migrated to other countries. The killing and migration of Palestinians is known as Nakba day. Finally a cease fire was made with the help of UNO, and war came to an end. UNO passed resolution in favor of Palestine, but these resolutions are still unimplemented. Another war between Israel and Palestine was broke out in 1967, which is known as six day war. Arab alliance was defeated in the war due to a surprised attack from Israel. After the war UNO gave its two state solution, the territories of Gaza, West Bank and East Jerusalem were given to Palestine, and remaining land was given to Israel. But Jews started illegal settlements near the Gaza strip, and now a large Jews population is living there. In 1967 war Israel occupied on Sinai Mountains and some other territories of Egypt & Syria. Finally Egypt recognized the Israel in 1978 Camp David accords, and Israel left the Sinai Mountains. Lebanon also recognized the Israel in 1982.
Oslo I accords were signed between Israel & Palestine in 1993, with the help of USA. Israel president Yiztik Rabin and Palestine PM Yasir Arfaat signed the accords; US President Bill Clinton was also present. The right of self government was given to Palestine under these accords. Oslo II accord was signed in 1995. Nothing came from these agreements and Israel PM Yiztik Rabin was assassinated in 1995. First elections were held in Gaza in 2006, and Hamas was come into power, while in West Bank Al Fatah came into power. Hamas won elections with majority support but USA and other western powers declared it a terrorist organization. Later Hamas made an agreement with Al-Fatah but skirmishes broke out and all was vain.
