Description:
After almost seventy years, the Palestinian refugee problem remains unsolved. But if a deal could have been reached involving the repatriation of Palestinian refugees, it was in the early years of the Arab-Israeli conflict. So why didn’t this happen?This book is the first comprehensive study of the international community’s earliest efforts to solve the refugee problem. Based on a wide range of international primary sources from Israeli, US, UK and UN archives, it presents new evidence to reveal the major proposals to solve the conflict between 1948 and 1968 and to outline why these failed. The book shows that the main actors involved – the Arab states, Israel, the US and the UN – agreed on very little when it came to the Palestinian refugee problem and therefore could not engage in finding a solution for them. Emerging most strongly in this new analysis is how the changing stances taken on the Palestinian issue – namely, whether it was seen as a humanitarian problem or a political problem – continually affected the progress that was made. The book highlights the changes and developments that took place in this period and reveals the limited influence that US policy makers had over Israel after its ascension to the UN
