It was Egypt that evoked violence. They removed the UN and closed the Suez Canal. With this unrest, Britain came up with Resolution 242. There were to guide the establishment of an Arab-Israeli peace settlement. The goal was to get Israel to withdraw but this never happened, neither side was willing to end the dispute.IV. Labor's CalculationsAllon Plan (Leb by Labor): argued that Arab part of the West Bank should be returned to Jordan. Labor also wanted to give up all of Sinai, Gaza, and Golan provided these areas be demilitarized. Labor was motivated by:Sense that a lasting peace would never happen without big territorial withdrawals.Sensed that Arab states would never accept the loose of significant territory.1. Peace with the Arab world was more important that anything else to Labor, especially over getting extra land.2. Labor saw if it kept Gaza an W. Bank, it could not remain democratic and Jewish. Arab people in these areas would have a large amount of voting power, destroying the Jewish majority. But withholding citizenship from Arabs was no more attractive than allowing them to become citizens.In summary, Israel had no choice but to yield most of the territories in labor’s view provided that a partner from negotiations could be found.V. Arab and Israeli ViewsCould Israel find a partner for peace?--Labor leaders kept hoping that Egypt, Syria, or Jordan would negotiate with them. But 1) Arab states were so divided, moderate vs radical states. 2) Many Arabs felt like negotiation would never be a solution. Israel would have to give up all territories and prove that they really want peace before Arabs would talk to them.Khartoum Declaration; the 3 NO’s: No recognition, no negotiations, no peace with Israel. This was the only possible answer to Arab aggression. They blamed everything in Egypt on Israel, not Egypt. Israel had no right to keep lands of another country that they had required through force. To Arabs, it seemed like Israel was committed to land expansion and would stop this just because of the Arabs.--Israel felt like it was their right to protect themselves. 1967 was 1947-48 all of again for Israel. Egypt threatened Israel, they didn't attack first. Arabs started both wars with intentioned to destroy the Jewish state. Israel leaders took Khartoum at face value, there was no one who Israel could return the territories.--Most Arabs felt that peace negotiation were impossible until Israel returned all land that they gained by force. Israelis thought this was suicidal, to return land to someone who tried to destroy them.VI. Policies in the Territories, 1967-77Given stalemate, policies were put in place to temporarily to return land. Once a fair bargain was achieved, the land would be returned to the Arabs if there were patient. Labor felt that the Arab’s would cave in after so long.1967-1977 Allon Plan.West Bank and Gaza Arabs did not become citizens of Israel, not did these Arabs want to become Israeli citizens. Arab E. Jerusalem, became permanent residents of Israel. Jewish neighborhoods were built east of this area.Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949: forbids powers from changing character of occupied lands by placing it’s own people on those lands. This applied only to lands that were held by a recognized sovereign power.In West Bank and Gaza, Israel did not hesitate to crush armed Arabs. Israel wanted to restore normalcy to everyday life. Israel did keep open bridges between west bank and Jordan. Allowed Arabs in West Bank to keep cultural ties with Jordan and rest of the Arab world. Also allowed for pre-existing salaries to still come from Jordan, many local notables were willing to cooperate with Israel to keep order and status. Notables assumed however that West Bank would soon be returned to Jordan. Israel adopted economic polities, jobs in Israel kept Arab unemployment at an all-time low. Electricity, education, health care, boomed as well. From 1968-1978 GNP in Gaza and West Bank rose over 2x as fast an in Israel proper. Arabs had claimed however that these areas had become Israel colonies. Palestinians began to grow more uneasy with Israeli occupation.1972-israel sponsored elections in West Bank—Ayan victory. King Husseni also says that he may agreed to Allon plan…this reinforces Labor’s belief that things were moving in Israel favor.VII. Labor's Hopes Dashed: Preview3 factors diminished Labor’s view that territories would be returned:1977 Earth Quake election: oust Labor. New government decides they’ll keep territories and start Jewish settlement in these areas.regional developments became less favorable to a deal in west banks. Israel makes peace with Egypt in 1979, new Israeli government uses peace with Egypt to solidify it’s hole with the west bank. Doubles efforts to absorbed west bank in Israel proper.Within west bank, Ayans are pushed aside by the PLO, a younger more radical organization. Rejects Israeli control even on temporary bases, and denies that west bank should return to Jordan. Get rid of Israel and establish unified Arab state over all its previous territories.Terms:Menachim BeginLikud PartySamariaJudeaAllon PlanKhartoum DeclarationFourth Geneva Convention of 1949Yasser ArafatHistory 244 1st Edition Lecture 11Current LectureI.

What were they to do with this new territory, give it back? Most people thought the new territory would be exchanged for peace treaties but in 1977, that was no longer the case. Labor failed to understand the depth of Arab’s discomfort.  II. Territories Seized in 1967  Sinai: seized from Egypt. The most land but the smallest population. Sinai wasn’t a threatto Israel in any sense so it was a good buffer between them and Egypt because Israel had no strong ties to the country.  Gaza: opposite of Sinai, it’s tiny but densely populated. It’s really close to Israel’s popularcenters so it would be difficult for Israel to give this up because of it’s geographical location.  W. Bank: It surrounds Jerusalem on a few sides so this was a very strategic move for Israel. It also contains a
