Abstract
The road to peace or the settlement of the Israel and Palestine conflict seems to be reversible only at a high cost. In conflict resolution and peace building, however, perceptions of the other side are often no less important than facts especially in a situation where contacts and interactions are unavoidable.
However, the impact of United Nations in the peace process between Israeli-Palestine crises cannot be overemphasized. The question is whether the peace process can bring a stable peace. Peace can be properly called stable (which is not always a synonym of just) only if the actors involved have no interest in choosing any other feasible strategy. Nevertheless, violent conflict is actually impossible if it becomes unthinkable, i.e. when violence is outside the realm, as among the countries belonging to the European Union. The decision and reason lies not only in decision making procedure or in ideal affinities, but also in the interdependencies between societies, in the process of integration between interacting democratic societies. This means that the existence of independent civil society plays a decisive role in conflict resolution.
The important issues at highlighted in this study include, rights of Palestinian people, Jewish settlements, refugee’s problem and Jerusalem challenge. Nearly, constant armed conflict between Israel and Palestine has forced millions of Palestinians out of their homes, many have fled to seek asylum in neighbouring countries. The United Nations due to series of this crisis has created United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) which provides education, health care, relief assistance and social services to the 3.6 million Palestine refugees in Jordan, Lebanon, the Syrian Arab Republic and the West Bank and Gaza Strip. These have resulted to frequent poverty, unemployment and other related challenges.
