After the Jewish people not having a homeland for nearly 2000 Years. The new state of Israel was formed in 1948 by a UN vote. The Arabs disagreed with having a Jewish state. After the 6-day war in 1967, Palestinians had even less land than before. They where not happy about it and distrusted the UN for not giving them back their land.
At the moment, the Israelis are searching for Palestinians organisers who are responsible for the suicide bombers. The Palestinians see it as there only weapon against the might of the Israeli army and population, and feel that yet again the world is just telling them what to do and not listening to them.
There have been many peace talks, which have failed. In 1993 Israel Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Palestinian chairman Yasir Arafat agreed to sign a peace agreement, this meant Palestinians self rule in Israeli occupied territories. The peace agreement in 1993 ended after 3 years when Rabin was assassinated by a right wing Israeli. After that Palestinians were scared that there own leader Yasir Arafat would also be assassinated, which lead to Palestinian extremist increase attacks on Israel citizens.
In conclusion, each side distrust each other causing Palestinians and Israelis to be in a circle of distrust. One side wants something but the doesn’t. The Palestinians agree to peace if Israeli tanks and army move first from the occupied territories, but the Israelis want to see peace then the tanks will move out.
Both sides distrust each other. The Israelis have more power as a state but Palestinians have right’s, they both have conflicting views this is why its hard to keep peace talks going in the Middle East.
