Synopsis

The Arab-Israeli conflict has been one of the most protracted and contentious disputes in modern history. This wide-ranging textbook examines the diplomatic and historical setting within which the conflict developed, from both the Israeli and Palestinian perspectives, and gives a comprehensive overview of the peace process. The new edition includes a fully revised and updated introduction and a wider selection of documents up to the first year of the Trump presidency.

Enabling students to easily access and study original documents through the supportive framework of a textbook, The Arab-Israeli Conflict:

• presents over eighty of the most important and widely cited documents in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
• presents these documents in an edited form to highlight key elements
• includes an introductory chapter which sets the context for the study of the history of the area
• covers a comprehensive historical period, ranging from the 19th Century to the present day
• incorporates a wide range of pedagogical aids: original documents, maps and boxed sections.
