Israel is most at fault for this failure, owing to its continued military occupation and illegal settlements. Despite giving lip service to peace, the Israeli army’s refusal to leave the occupied territories continues to be in direct contravention to what the preamble to United Nations Security Council resolution 242 termed the “inadmissible taking of land by force.”
因为以色列不断的军事占领和非法移民，它应该对这个失败负主要的责任。尽管口头上支持和平，但是以色列军队拒绝从被占领土上撤军不断地直接违背了联合国安理会第242号决议前言“不得武力占领领土”的规定。
