The Conflict between Palestinians and Israelis has been the political issue occupying most time on the Agendas since the creation of the United Nations. The reason why the conflict continues is the Western Reluctance to force Israel to withdraw from the areas it has historically occupied. This reluctance is especially displayed by US vetoes against UN Security Council Resolutions condemning Israeli Agression. Below You'll find Material on the UN involvement in the Conflict.
1948 | UN General Assembly resolution 194 granting the Displaced Palestinians during the 1948 War the right to return to their land, after having been expelled by Israel.
