The Palestinian Quest for Statehood : Israel at War
For two decades, between the United Nations’ Partition Resolution and the Six-Day War, the Palestinians were either not willing or not able to establish a state of their own.
They first gambled on nipping the State of Israel in the bud, then were under Jordanian and Egyptian occupation. It was only through the good services of Israel that the Palestinian hope for Statehood was rekindled.
But rather than opt for peaceful diplomacy, they tried violence and terror, with the added leverage of asking for outside pressure on Israel. Currently, this effort is once again focused on the UN, even while Hamas and smaller gangs wage criminal war against Israel. What are the procedures and prospects at present in the rocky road towards a State of Palestine? Joining us fir the analysis:
