Palestine and Israel Crisis

Create a thesis and an outline on Palestine and Israel Crisis and its Effects on U.S.Arab Relations. Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide. An abstract is required. The Arab countries are especially worried about the American approach and intent. They generally appear to be suspecting a geopolitical encroachment from the powerful American side combined with the interests of Israel. Even faithful American allies like Saudi Arabia and Turkey do not appear to be least contented about the lingering Palestine and Israel crisis and the American role in the peace process.In general, the international community holds that American policy in this region favors Israel. The military superiority of Israel relative to any plausible coalition of the Arab parties has been primarily maintained through American military assistance.1 Since military power has played a very important role throughout the Palestine and Israel crisis, the political geography of the region has been considerably changed. Israel has increased the geographical extent of its political dominion (by the annexation of Golan Heights, for example). Also, it has the ability to block and encircle the West Bank and Gaza Strip at utter geographical convenience. Moreover, Israel has strategically erected and shifted Jewish settlements in the region from time to time.Israel has four widely accepted physiological divisions: Northern Coast, Central Hills, Jordan Rift Valley, and Negev Desert.2 The topography of Palestine is relatively simple. West Bank is landlocked and hilly, while Gaza shows general features of uneven coastal terrain.3 However, Israel’s stringent security and economic policies in regards to its settlements in the West Bank and its control over the Gaza coast have complicated the political geography of the region. Israel’s regional geostrategic moves have adversely affected the Arab nations at large. Arab countries are becoming more and more sensitive about their geographical borders and natural resources, which has pressurized America. America has to provide military support to countries like Egypt and Jordan and cautiously position its troops in and around the Arabian Peninsula. Palestine and Israel’s crisis is antagonizing even the non Arab countries like Iran and Pakistan.
