FAQThe Israeli- Arab Conflict  How can peace be achieved? | The dream of a future in which Israeli and Arab children can grow up free from the threat of war and the fear of terrorism unites all Israelis. However, the long history of failed negotiations with the Palestinians has proven that simply yearning for peace is not enough. Time after time, Israel has presented far-reaching peace proposals, made major concessions, relinquished extensive tracts of land, uprooted settlements, withdrawn forces, dismantled military bases and taken steps to enable the Palestinians to establish the foundations of self-government. In return, Israel has received a Palestinian campaign of terror, suicide bombings, rocket attacks, and virulent incitement against Israelis and Jews; and has been subjected to an ongoing campaign in the international arena to delegitimize Israel's very existence and undermine its economy.
Israel has always been willing to compromise and every Israeli government - including the present one - has been prepared to make major sacrifices for the sake of peace. However, peacemaking requires concessions on both sides. Just as Israel has acknowledged the rights and interests of the Palestinians, Israel has legitimate rights and interests that also need to be acknowledged and addressed. Peace can only be achieved through earnest negotiations which bridge gaps and resolve all outstanding issues.

| Pourquoi Israël a-t-il décidé d’imposer un blocus maritime sur la bande de Gaza ? | Selon le droit international, l’imposition d’un blocus maritime est légale car Israël se trouve dans une situation de conflit armé avec l’organisation terroriste du Hamas, l’entité dirigeante de la bande de Gaza. Le Hamas est reconnu comme étant une organisation terroriste par les États-Unis, le Royaume-Uni, l’Union Européenne et l’État d’Israël | | |
