There is a fundamental disagreement between Israel and the Arab world, based upon the Israeli determination to have a Jewish homeland in the traditional historical location of Israel, and the Arab belief that this territory was seized illegally from its true owners, the Palestinians, and must be returned to them. Jews and Arabs both feel that their position is required for the well being of their ethnic group, and for religious reasons as well. The territory of Israel/Palestine is considered holy to three of the world's major religions, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, and all three have fought wars over the possession of that holy land. These kind of disagreements are very difficult to resolve since no one wants to compromise.

Since the State of Israel has been in existence, the Arab League proposed a solution in 2002 to create a lasting resolution to the Arab-Israeli Conflict called the Arab Peace Initiative. Israel has rejected the initiative since the agreement would require Israel to allow Palestinians the Right of Return not just to the Palestinian Territories but to Israel itself, effectively ending the mission of Israel as the Jewish State. Israel wanted to negotiate further with the Arab League to create a mutually viable solution, but the Arab League refused any negotiation on the terms of the Arab Peace Initiative.
