What three strips of land are issues in the Arab-Israeli conflict?

Gaza Golan Heights West Bank ======================== The Gaza strip was cleared of Israeli settlements by Israel's army, and handed over to the Palestinian Authority, years ago. Shortly after that, Hamas launched an armed takeover and threw out the Palestinian Authority. The real issue in the Arab-Israel "conflict" is the strip of land that runs roughly from Eilat northward to the border of Lebanon, and is labeled "Israel" on maps in places that acknowledge its existence.


Is the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict about land?

This question is divisive and so you may get conflicting answers.Answer 1No. It is a conflict between ideologies. The land-issue is just a diversion from the actual goal, which is to remove Jews and their State from the Middle East.Answer 2Partially. In order to resolve whether a conflict is over is exclusively over a certain piece of land, you can ask the question: if one side got all of the land that they wanted would there be peace. In the Morocco-Algeria Sands War of 1981-1982, there would be (as each just wanted control of a small piece of land). In the case of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, there would still be sectarian conflicts, even if the land was returned. However, having access to the land and control over it is certainly among the aims of both sides.The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is primarily a nationalistic conflict, between two camps of peoples: Israelis (Jews, Israeli Arabs, Bedouins, Druze, Circassians, and others on the one side) and Palestinians (Palestinian Muslims, Palestinian Christians, and others on this side) who identify with specific national governments and governing ideologies. This is similar to other conflicts between nations, such as between India and Pakistan where Indians and Pakistanis identify by loyalty to their countries and those countries' governing ideologies. Part of nationalistic identity is a view of where their borders are and in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, the Israelis and Palestinians do not agree on where the borders should be between the two countries (or even whether there should be two countries).


How was the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict resolved?

It has not yet been resolved. Israel and Palestine were closest to a long-lasting solution at the Taba Summit in Egypt in 2000 when Ehud Barak conceded on nearly all of the Palestinian requests, but was denied by Yassir Arafat who knew that the remaining concessions that Barak did not make would make the solution untenable for the Palestinians. (The primary issue was that there was no Right of Return for Palestinians to what is now Israel, which is a non-starter with Israel, but most Palestinians will not let go.) Since that time, international focus groups and thinktanks have come up with solutions, but there are too many people who are too unwilling to compromise to implement them.


How do the people of Israel justify what their government is doing?

Generally, people justify the acts of any government based on the powers they have accorded that government and their general needs as a society. Without specifying exactly what Israelis have to justify it's unclear what rationales to provide. The Israeli government does all kinds of things such as oversee the religious life-cycle laws and support a quasi-Millet system, maintain local provinces and proper voting procedures, sustain the education system that teaches Jews and Arabs in their native languages, constructs highways and public transportation that are sometimes controversial, plumbs oil-fields in the Mediterranean such as the Tamar fields, deals with issues of increasing religious presence in the Knesset and increasing male/female segregation, the Israeli housing crisis in 2010-Present, and, of course, the policy in the Occupied Palestinian Territories and general foreign policy. If this question was intending to ask specfically about Israeli policy towards the Palestinian issue, please see the Related Question below.

The Old City, home to significant religious sites, is often envisioned as a shared area or governed by an international body. Ultimately, the specifics would depend on future peace agreements and negotiations between the two parties.
