'''Palestinian Arabs''' refers to those [[Arab]]s who migrated into [[Palestine]] (former and present-day [[Israel]]) beginning in the late 19th century, and who had no cultural nor national distinctive traits separating them from [[Syria]]ns, [[Lebanon|Lebanese]], and [[Jordan]]ians. The term "Palestinian" itself had referred to Israeli [[Judaism|Jews]] until the 1940s, but in subsequent years has been deconstructed and redefined to refer to the Arabs in the occupied territories of the [[West Bank]] (Also known as [[Judea and Samarra]], as referred to by Prime Minister Menachem Begin in his West Bank policy)  and [[Gaza]].

An excellent proposition has been put forward to deal with the plight of both the Palestinian Arabs and Israel- the Oslo Accord (I & II), the first of which was signed in August 1993, ensured that the former had a degree of political autonomy (Palestinian Authority) in the Gaza Strip and West Bank. This was a profound gesture from both sides in terms of an effective peace movement in the Middle East, especially between Arafat and Rabin.
