7-6.3 The Middle East

1. The Zionist Movement With so many Jews displaced after the holocaust, there was a need to find a suitable location for resettlement and a homeland (Zionism) The Balfour Declaration (1917) had increased tensions between Jews and Palestinians. Britain had control of Palestine after WWI and the defeat of the Ottoman Empire The plans called to split Palestine in half, with a Jewish State and a Palestinian state. Jerusalem would be an ‘international city’ The country of Israel was created in 1948 in the Palestinian’s homeland. Palestinians retaliated and attacked but Israel won and held on to the land. In 1956, 1967, and 1973 there were more wars and the Israelis continued to gain more land from the Palestinians. The Palestinians were forced to relocate each time.

2. Arab Nationalism Arabic people continued to show intense nationalism throughout the Middle East. In 1956 the Egyptian President sent troops to take over the Suez canal, which was in Egypt but was controlled by the British, since they paid for it. Great Britain wanted to retake the Canal, and convinced Israel to send in troops and work with the French to provide air support. Egypt was defeated, and lost land to Israel The United States and Soviet Union, in an effort to prevent another war, forced Israel to return the land to Egypt.

3. Palestine fights back In 1964 the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) came into being to support the creation of a Palestinian state. Yasser Arafat became their leader. Soon Guerrilla groups gained power and claimed they would use military force in order to create a Palestinian state. In 1967 The President of Egypt and other Arab leaders prepared to go to war against Israel. Israel Attacked first, in Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Iran, Winning the Sinai Peninsula, the West Bank, Golan Heights and Jerusalem in the Six day war.

4. The Fighting Continues The Yom Kippur war occurred 6 years after the Six Day war The Arabs attacked Israel, and a cease fire was signed weeks later. This was the first Major peace between the two sides and was known as the “Camp David Accords” they led to Egypt recognizing Israel as a country This angered Muslim radicals who assassinated Egyptian President Anwar Sadat Palestinians launched the Intifada in 1987 which was a group of attacks and demonstrations against Israeli troops In 1993 the Oslo Peace accords were signed, Israel gave Palestinians self-rule in the west bank and Gaza strip. However the Israeli prime minister was assassinated by radical Jews and both sides are yet to form a lasting peace
