Palestinian Authority Yasir Arafat Golda Meir Anwar Sadat Yitzhak Rabin Hosni Mubarak Menachem Begin
Palestinian Statehood
Palestinians want their statehood Want control of own borders Desire to raise an army and have
independence Israel thinks that an independent Palestine
will endanger their national security
Jerusalem
Has religious significance for both Jews and Muslims
Jerusalem was in joint control until Israel captured the east side in the 1967 war
Israel claims all of Jerusalem now and considers it their capital
Most nations do not recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital
Jewish Settlements
Over 500,000 Jews live in occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip
These Jewish settlers will not accept Palestinian authority
In 2006 Israel withdrew all its settlements from the city of Gaza
Jewish setters are still settling in the West Bank
Security Barrier
Israel began constructing a wall in 2002 to stop unauthorized entry of Palestinians and terrorists
Wall makes movement of Palestinians across their settlements more difficult
Palestinian Refugees
2.5 million Palestinians live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip
3 million Palestinians are scattered across the Arab world
Palestinian leaders argue that all Palestinians that had to flee during the 1967 war should be allowed to return to their homes
Water Resources
Water is limited in supply in the region Water resources aren’t allowed across
borders Water rights remain a huge obstacle to
peace agreements
