Forum: Security Council Issue: The Israeli-Palestinian conflict Student Officer: Samuel Nguyen Chair of Security Council Position: Introduction: The conflict between The State of Israel and The State of Palestine, that lasts over decades, starting as the inter-communal violence in Mandatory Palestine and officially beginning with the establishment of Israel in 1948, has no real solution to this day. After many years of failed attempts to solve this complex problem, the conflict received a reputation of a "most intractable conflict." Many resolutions had been created by the United Nations, but none of them came to the real use, due to the opposition from both sides, both violent and non-violent. Over the years, conflict has cost thousands of lives of innocent civilians and destroyed hundreds of homes. This dispute is being observed by the whole world and many of the world's prominent leaders offered help and advice in solving this situation, mainly proposing the two-state solution , yet the actual status quo is not changing, while the tensions in the region rise, especially after the decision of the president of the United States of America, to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, making many of the Palestinian residents unhappy and worried. By turning our sights from the problem, tensions and turmoil in the Middle-East rise and create a space for an extremist and terrorist organisations, especially on the Palestinian side. It also makes the residents of both states to live in a constant fear for their homes and lives. As the conflict grows on intensity, a functioning resolution needs to be created and implemented.
