The state of Israel was created in 1948 after Britain ended its mandate over Palestine. The UN proposed partitioning the area into Arab and Jewish States and Arab states that opposed the UN plan were defeated. Israel fought wars against its Arab neighbours in 1967 and 1973, coupled with occupation of the West Bank and Gaza strip in the 1967 war. The Israeli government has periodically clashed with Palestine Liberation Groups. The United States has been spearheading most of the peace processes in the conflict without much positive impact. Few questions this paper seeks to analyse include; why is the Palestine-Israel conflict unending? How impactful were the various peace processes? Who are the actors involved in the peace process? In a bid to explain the intractability of the Israel-Palestine conflict, the emergence of several movements such as the alestinian Liberation Organisation and Hamas, and the peace processes that were difficult to implement, the One or Two State solutions and recent hostilities are issues analyzed- Reproduced
