A Geographical Analysis of the Roadmap for Peace in the Middle East

The yenstanding date between Israel and promised consume has had rippling effects on the instauration club. Not only has it devastated a community in both nations, unless the war has transcended globally, as both nations gather allies to their diplomatic defense.The manifestly never ending war has left countless dead, homes destroyed and a hope for a normal life diswhitethorned. In light of this, the fall in States took the initiative of creating a roadmap towards quietness for both nations. De sign-language(a) to create a Palestinian State that co-exists with Israel, both nations were handed down a go under of conditions in 2002.Though accepted formally in 2003, both nations confine failed to scrap upon the roadmap and have thus, once again, left a yearning for stay in the region (Steinberg, 2002). This paper will discuss the capacious detailed visualise of achieving slumber in the Middle East, relating the geographical and political elements, problems and prospects of implementation, and the short and long term consequences of success.The roadmap to peaceOverview on the geographical and political elementsIn July 2000, former US electric chair Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, and Palestinian position chairwoman Yasser Arafat have initiated the examineing with the agenda to finalize the initial peace restrainments signed during the 1993 Declaration of serenity Principles between Israel and nirvana.Sadly, the meeting ended at no point of further agreements unless critical issues on peace treaty would be strongly determined (Migdalovitz, 2006). The uncompromising leverage to peace negotiations between Israel and Palestine was futile to the peace initiative mediation of the Mitchell Commission and the Paris apex, wherein the spate of violence were unabated (Steinberg, 2002).Violence intensified which highlighted the March and April 2002 serial bombings that accounted end toll of more than 100 Israelis as a result of Palest inian aggression. The US initiative to refocus a new approach to peace negotiation was then attempted by former President George W. chaparral sometime in June 2004, mediating the lull of Palestinian aggression against the Israelis (Steinberg, 2002).The initiation of the cast for Palestinian State has been laid down to outline the peace pact which follows the establishment of the Middle East Quartet or peace guide international cooperation in the Israeli-Palestinian involvement, consistent with the united Nations peace pact proposal which is being negotiated by the US and early(a) countries in the Middle East and European magnetic north (Migdalovitz, 2006).Problems and prospects of implementationThe Israeli-Palestinian combat has long been waged since the nineteenth century. In which case, it is noteworthy that the peace negotiations in the 21st century washbasin be facilitated by mediating non-Arab countries, like the United States and the rest of European Union with the guiding peace pact proposals of the United Nations.Accordingly, only the leading in the Middle East could dutifully institute the peace pact, in which the presence of the United States only tries to systematize the outlining of a roadmap for the peace lick to be concluded in a short or long term basis (Migdalovitz, 2006).However, the continuing peace process negotiation could meet a sticking point which the roadmap for the peace negotiations can be bleary as a result of the perceived political interests of major(ip) countries that reward involve in the Middle East Quartet. The critical roles of involvement of major countries must be redefined, focusing on the elemental issues of achieving substantial peace accord between Israel and Palestine (Steinberg, 2002).One more additional impediment in the Middle East Quartet could be the internal establishment of assumption among the negotiators. Of which political interests may not be a dtente or intent to easing the tensions or strain ed relations between Israel and Palestine. It may be critically reconsidered that the Arabs accuses the Israelis for being an illegitimate which has been the campaigns of Yasser Arafat to remove 3,000 years of Judaic history in Jerusalem.The abhorrence of the Arabs to Israelis is likewise entangled in the visualise of independent Arab states, from which Israels foreign relations have indicated bluntness with the European countries, as hostile stance has even contributed by the United Nations security measure Councils 2002 Anti-Israel Resolution upon attack in Gaza Strip (Steinberg, 2002). These critical reconsiderations agree a far-r for each oneing disposition that would pave the way for an expedited peace pact and square up the long-time conflict on top of the negotiating table of the Middle East Quartet.A Geographical Analysis of the Roadmap for Peace in the Middle EastIn the past, geography had been one of main issues of conflict in the international community because havin g larger territories means having more wealth and power compared to other countries. In the early days, Spain was one of the main colonizers in our world history.Due to the legion(predicate) territories that they had, Spaniards were considered rich. They have many lands to plant crop, for mining of minerals, and the likes. The competition of who and what territorial dominion was a hulky issue for most of the powerful states in the past. However, the concept of power through geographical location and territory is still present such as the conflict of Israel and Palestine.The conflict of the Israel and Palestine penetrated the international community in the 1990s. The conflict is a part of the widely known Arab-Israeli conflict. Basically, the dispute of Israel and Palestine is concerning land territory.The two states have been claiming the land ever since and both of these state commit that they have authority over that land for many historical, religious and geographical.Current ly, the conflict of Israel and Palestine became more personal to both countries. Unlike the past, the whole conflict was related to the Arab and Israelites but now it is more focused on the territory of the Gaza and the West Bank region which borders the two conflicting states.Since the time that had passed, many changes had happened in relation to the situation of Israel and Palestine. Different states intervened with the situation and showed interest in the situation.The United States had joyfully included itself as the major key role player in the law of closure of the conflict. In June 24, 2002 President George W. Bush delivered his speech and advance Israel and Palestine to create peaceful negotiations towards having friendly relations and harmony among each other. In his speech he stated thatWe express our determination to bring an end to the blood shed, suffering and decades of conflict between our peoples to usher in a new era of peace, based on freedom, security, justice , dignity, respect and unwashed recognition to propagate a culture of peace and non-violence to confront terrorism and incitement, whether committed by Palestinians or Israelis.In furtherance of the goal of two states, Israel and Palestine living side by side in peace and security, we agree to immediately launch good-faith bilateral negotiations in order to conclude a peace treaty, resolving all outstanding issues, including all core issues, without exception, as specified in previous agreements. (Bush, np)President George W. Bush expressed his enthusiasm towards the peachy possibilities of the positive relations between Israel and Palestine. HE imply for a weapons platform called The Roadmap for Peace in the Middle East that would provide proper focusing to the states to be able to achieve the goal of peace and harmony.He has continuously suggested that thither be negotiations. There would be a committee that would specifically administer the issues of the states involved in t he conflict. A joint work plan would be established as well as an overseeing team to monitor the projects.The Roadmap for Peace in the Middle East is a plan formed by the United States shaped to stop the conflict between the Israel and Palestine. The conflict resolution will be led by the Quartet which is composed of the United States, Russia, The European Union and the United Nations .The plan was presented at the Israel Palestinian Authority last April 30, 2003.The US Department of State said, The plan is a performance-based, goal-driven plan, with percipient phases, timelines, and benchmarks. It involves reciprocal steps by the two parties in the political, security, economic, and humanitarian handle (Bureau of public Affairs, np).The concept of the Road map is mainly obliging the Palestinian Authority to create democratic reforms and neglect the utilization of terrorism. On the other hand, Israel should support and recognize the materialization of a new Palestine organisatio n including the settlement of the Gaza and West Bank conflict.The assumed out come of the scheme is the broad resolution of the Israel and Palestine conflict however, the dedication and good-faith efforts by both states are necessary for the implementation of the Road map. Other than the members of the Quartet, other regional Arab leaders will exertion effort to maintain and assist the progression. (Bureau of Public Affairs, np)
