3. The British withdrew from making a Jewish state in Palestine, handed the issue over to the U.N. to handle because they were Holocaust survivors and it got to the point when Jews had more Palestinian land than the Palestines.The Arabs left, because they felt as if they were forced to, as a result various wars broke during the time of Jews taking over Palestinian land.
4. The borders in the Middle East changed due to the Six Day war, it also created changeds in military and political perceptions,bringing in the United States into the conflict. Arabs surrounded Israelite land and threated to cut off Gulf for Israel access and that was Israel's number one source of oil.
5. Egypt and Syria attacked Israel in the Yom Kippur war, and the U.S thought it would be a good opportunity for them. Palestinians were trying to regain their land that was taken away. Israel was overconfident and caught by surprise by the war. Meanwhile, in the West Bank and Gaza war broke out because the Palestinians wanted the Israelites out. Sinai was given back to Egypt, but no final negotiation was done with Palestine.
6. Oslo agreement(self-government) was signed by Palestine and Israel meaning to bring peace, but it ended up starting a new intifada. It all started from a traffic accident when a Israel killed Palestinians. The intifada went on for years , Israelites thought they should end it because it was harming them morally and economically.
7. Erafatt's method and style of governing led for the process to fail and violated the terms in the Oslo agreement. He violated importing arms, having numerous amounts of forces more than allowed, and by not respecting human rights. At other agreement processes Erafatt should have stepped up and be courages and done what needed to be done, give everyone their piece of land they deserved. Neither group sucessed.
