“The Refugees Issue Effect on the Transformation of the Arab-Israeli Conflict” رسالة ماجستير

Abstract

This six-chapter study examines the impact of the Palestinian refugee issue on the transformation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it brings the historical background that led to the emergence of the refugee dilemma and looks at the role of the powerful external forces on the refugee issue. This paper also discusses the international resolutions concerned the issue, and the general law tools for protecting the refugees. The study talks of the relevant parties‟ attitudes toward the refugee issue, the Palestinian-Israeli agreements between 1991-2001and the informal accommodations in the context of the issue at that time down to the suggested solutions and the extent of their admittance. Many important results were found after the study was carried, the most important are:  The international law inability to redress the issue of refugees as it did not find direct solutions to this problem.  The American and European position on the refugee issue is consistent and does not change. It also goes in line with all Israeli proposals and positions.
