AB  - Since thebeginning of the 20th century, the Israeli-Palestinian unsettledissue began to escalate into a conflict. The small piece of land couth the eyeof political interests and became a very big problem not only for thesurrounding neighbors but for the whole Middle East and the world. Jewishpopulation claims that the land is theirs and they have the right to be theredue to historical and biblical argumentation. Palestinians consisted themajority of the population on this territory and resided on this lands sincethey can remember. In the 19th century the Palestine region was partof Ottoman rule and in that period this territory did not represent animportant political unit. After World War I Britain entered the region and itdecreed over the area that now comprises Israel, West Bank, and Gaza Strip.Britain’s presence brought many instabilities due to its own politicalinterests. Later on, as a result of the atrocities afflicted upon Jews inEurope, Jews moved from Europe and settled in Israel and also due to theZionism which is a political movement. As the political interest over theregion escalated the visible solution for the problem was weakened. The Oslo PeaceAccord for the first time gave the sparkle of hope to both sides. Even thoughthe Accord was not successful it still presented an idea for peace and a chancefor a solution of the conflict. The situation up till today does not give eventhe slightest hope for resolution. The conflict still flames with many deathson both sides. The influence of the European Union, United Nations and mostlyfrom the United States is visible but without inflicting drastic changestowards a solution. The newest decision of President Trump to recognize Jerusalemas the capital of Israel triggered, even more, an escalation of the fire, andbrought more anger and despair in the Middle East. The conflict is clearly apolitical one and the question is whether there is an objective solutionpossible. The possible scenarios of a two state and one state will mostprobably never occur because the solution lies in the hands of both partiessettling on a joint and mutual understanding of the problem and settling oncommon grounds.
