Arab-Israeli Conflict :: Papers

Arab-Israeli Conflict Palestinian citizen el-Hobeishi was a suicide bomber and gave his life when he planted a bomb in a railway station in the northern town of Nahariya. Hamas which said it was responsible for the bombing has found its first suicide bomber from Israel's Arab minority. All previous candidates have been Palestinians from the West bank and the Gaza strip, who do not have Israeli citizenship. He had no causes to give his life, as it is usually people in refugee camps who have no citizenship that would be chosen.

Well, it seemed possible that peace may have been achieved during the 1990 Gulf War when the P.L.O. lost its funding from Kuwait and Saudi Arabia who were generous to the P.L.O. but their financial support was cut off and 400,000 Palestinians working in the Gulf states were expelled from work. The loss of $10 billion between '91-'93 hit the P.L.O.'s ability to fund schools and hospitals for poor Palestinians. This was all due to the invasion of Kuwait by the Iraqi forces. Its oil rich southern neighbour. A united nations force (American with British, French participation and support from Egypt and Saudi Arabia)
