Historical Context of Problem
• Britain promises two sides land• Fighting quickly breaks out because Britain
removes itself from the problem• The United Nations pass Resolution 181 but
Arabs quickly object because the Israelis would get more land than the Arabs
• After Israel declares itself an independent state, Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq invade, but ultimately lose much of the land the UN had set aside for Arabs.
Explanation of Problem
Jews and Muslims both value Palestine because it is the “Holy land”
Because of these high values, neither side wants to give up
War has been getting worse over the years, with Intifada and suicide attacks

Weakness: Jerusalem is very sacred to MuslimsThe Arabs would definitely revolt and war would break out
Strength: Jews will have their own country The Wailing Wall is very sacred to Jews
• Jews might start rebelling
• Palestine is supported by a terrorist group Hamas.
Strength: Palestine gets their own state
No more rebellion from Arabs
Weakness: Jews don’t get their own independent state.
• Strength – Jews and Arabs will get their own state
European Union supports it
War would stop
Weakness – Palestinians want the full land
Hezbollah refuses to accept western influence
Final Solution: Two-State Solution
Why It is Good
Greatest for both states War would end Fairness to both states Less discrimination

Will It Work? Has been tried before, Arabs revolted causing
the plan not to work. Arabs aren't involved anymore.
Each side wouldn't let up the opportunity to have their own state, so of course they'd take it.People who are involved with both sides wouldn't want to pick a side to fight with, so that their losing an ally, and making an enemy.
