The conflict between Arabs Palestinians and Israelis began in 20th century and many historical wars and events had accelerated the pace of contradictions between the two states. Palestine/Israel has a small area of 10,000 square miles, but the dispute over this tiny area has great impact not only on Middle East but also on the international politics. The earlier nature of the conflict was religious, but in fact it was more political than religious. Until 1948, the disputed area was known as Palestine, but in 1948 it was divided into 3 parts: Israel, the west bank and Gaza strip. As Palestinians were in majority and they were the old inhabitants of the area, so they claimed that this land belongs to them. They were not agreed to give the land to Israelis (they were hated by the world and were migrated from Europe). The major powers and the UN has so far failed to resolve the issue and any step towards resolving the issue favored Israel rather Palestine. This research paper discusses the historical evolution of Palestine conflict and the role of Russia and China in the resolving the conflict.
Key words: Palestine, Israel, UN, World War I, Veto, China, Russia.
