Topic: New strategies to stop the development of war technology around the world

Country: Israel
Delegate: Luis Alexander Landa Correa

Israel nowadays is one of the most talked about countries in the world, is a
relatively new country, and with a population considered small (8 914 885 hab) that
has had a very controversial story but nonetheless has become an important
member of the nations of the world and its actions have had an impact on
worldwide politics.

Israel was created by the United Nations in the year 1947 with the so called
Partition Plan for Palestine, which recommended the creation of a separate jewish
and Arab state, soon after this became a war which led to the independence of
Palestine and the termination of the British mandate in 1948. Soon after the
surrounding Arab countries intervened , this led to the 1948 Arab wars . Which
concluded with the 1949 Armistice Agreements that saw Israel in control of most of
the former mandate territory, while the West Bank and Gaza were held by Jordan
and Egypt respectively.
Over 700,000 Palestinian Arabs were expelled from or fled the territory Israel would
come to control, with fewer than 150,000 Palestinian Arabs remaining within Israel.
During and immediately after the war, around 260,000 Jews emigrated or fled from
the Arab world to Israel. Israel has since fought wars with several Arab countries,
and since the 1967 Six-Day War has occupied the Syrian Golan Heights and the
Palestinian territories of the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza
Strip Jordan occupied land which became known as the West Bank, and Egypt
occupied Gaza.

Jerusalem was divided between Israeli forces in the West, and Jordanian forces in
the East.
Because there was never a peace agreement - with each side blaming the other -
there were more wars and fighting in the following decades..

Tensions are often high between Israel and Palestinians living in East Jerusalem,
Gaza and the West Bank.
Gaza is ruled by the Palestinian militant group Hamas, which has fought Israel
many times. Israel and Egypt tightly control Gaza's borders to stop weapons getting
to Hamas.

Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank say they are suffering because of Israeli
actions and restrictions. Israel says it is only acting to protect itself from Palestinian
violence.
The threatened eviction of some Palestinian families in East Jerusalem has also
caused rising anger.

The most recent peace plan, prepared by the United States when Donald Trump
was president, was called "the deal of the century" by Israel's then-Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu.
But it was been dismissed by the Palestinians as one-sided and never got off the
ground.
Any future peace deal will need both sides to agree to resolve complex issues.
