Abstract

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is deadly and intractable. Although both sides agree to a two-state solution, they are deeply divided on all issues of implementation as shown over the years by the futility of negotiations. Arab–Jewish deep distrust underlies the unwillingness to take risks, make concessions, and reach an agreement. The Arab citizens in Israel are a segment of the Palestinian people and part of Israel. Distrust and discord between them and the Jews are integral part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict. Data from the annual Index of Arab–Jewish Relations in Israel for the years 2003–2015 are analyzed to compare Arabs and Jews on distrust, narratives, the Palestinian question, regional disputes and Israel’s integration into the region. Two rival interpretations are suggested about the depth of the Arab–Jewish differences of opinion, reflecting opposing views on the intractability of the Israeli–Palestinian dispute.
