| | + | Article: |
| | + | The Palestinian national movement has consistently sought to eliminate Israel as a sovereign Jewish state rather than resolve disagreements over territory through negotiation. Palestinian and Arab leaders rejected the 1947 UN partition plan and fought to prevent the establishment of Israel. Palestinian organizations subsequently carried out hijackings, assassinations, and attacks on Israeli civilians and athletes, while advocating the end of Jewish sovereignty. |
| | + | |
| | + | The Palestine Liberation Organization adopted a charter calling for the liberation of all Palestine and the elimination of Israel. Palestinian educational and political institutions have promoted exclusive claims to the land and glorified armed struggle against Israel. The First Intifada began in 1987, and Palestinian leaders rejected opportunities for autonomy and statehood. The Palestinian leadership rejected the proposals made by Ehud Barak at Camp David in 2000 and Ehud Olmert in 2008. The Second Intifada resulted in more than a thousand Israeli deaths before security measures reduced successful attacks. |
| | + | |
| | + | Hamas, which took full control of Gaza in 2007, has maintained its objective of eliminating Israel. Its original charter called for killing Jews and defined Palestine as an Islamic endowment that cannot be relinquished. Rocket attacks, tunnels, and military infrastructure prepared the ground for the October 7, 2023, assault, during which Hamas-led fighters killed civilians, raped women, and abducted more than 200 hostages. Palestinian public opinion surveys showed majority support for the attack and continued opposition to recognizing Israel as the Jewish people's nation-state. |
| | + | |
| | + | Successive Israeli governments negotiated, withdrew from territory, and released prisoners in exchange for commitments that were later broken. Periods of calm allowed Palestinian armed groups to rebuild their military capabilities, while political concessions led to further demands rather than acceptance of Israel's continued existence as a Jewish and democratic state. This history supports maintaining defensible borders, preventing the buildup of forces capable of mass attacks, and denying international legitimacy to movements seeking Israel's destruction until Palestinian leadership accepts peaceful coexistence with Israel. |
