United Nations Peacekeeping in Israel and Palestine

Despite numerous efforts to create lasting peace in the region, the conflict between Israel and Palestine has claimed more than 10,000 lives since 1948, when Israel became an independent state. The failure of previous efforts to resolve this conflict suggest that the involvement of the United Nations may be required to help establish order and durable government institutions. My research examines the relative positives and negatives of the U.N. adopting either a conflict-resolution or humanitarian aid perspective as it considers intervening in the conflict. In order to select the appropriate peacekeeping approach, this project analyzes previous U.N. missions and breaks down the successes and failures of each. The results show how to approach infighting between ethnic groups and land disputes between governments. My analysis includes U.N. interventions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Israel-Egypt, India-Pakistan, and Sierra Leone. I will examine successful intervention methods in these cases and argue how to apply them to the conflict in Israel and Palestine. My ongoing research suggests that these countries will benefit most from a conflict-resolution approach, which reduces violence and protects both states' autonomy. This research is crucial, as it provides a thorough blueprint for future U.N. peacekeeping in the region.
