Abstract

This article delves into the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, emphasizing the need for a comprehensive reassessment of past peace efforts and strategies. It underscores the importance of imparting a nuanced understanding of the conflict to new generations, as this protracted issue threatens global political, security, social, and economic stability. With a focus on international aid factors and the influence of major powers, this study seeks to analyze the failure of peace agreements by examining the competing interests of both parties. The central argument posits that effective diplomatic efforts in addressing this conflict require the identification of suitable mediators and an unwavering commitment from all parties involved. The research aims to identify and evaluate relevant concepts and approaches for mediators in managing the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It asserts that a holistic method is essential for conflict resolution, which extends beyond mere negotiation and mediation, encompassing conflict management strategies. The study suggests a combination of simultaneous and sequential approaches involving all stakeholders to facilitate mutual reconciliation. Lessons from past reconciliation efforts, notably the 1993 Oslo Peace Agreement and its shortcomings, provide invaluable insights to guide future mediation endeavors. This research is situated within the context of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict’s far-reaching impact on global politics. Consequently, it advocates for a comprehensive investigation into the effectiveness and weaknesses of diplomatic efforts involving mediators. The study concludes by proposing several strategies aimed at mitigating this conflict’s ramifications for the benefit of both parties and the global community as a whole.
