The Historical Development of Policies and Attitudes of Arab Regimes towards the Issue of Palestine between 1945-2000

Abstract

This article examines the ruling Arab system in Arab countries, and its historical relationship with the central issue of Palestine in the Arab and Islamic world alike. Its roots go back to the period of the uprisings that confronted the Jews since the twenties of the last century. It continued firmly until the end of the Second World War, and continued to confront the cooperated Jewish plans with colonialism, which enabled them to achieve their all goals. Those systems were unable to prevent the establishment of the Jewish state in 1948, and were followed by repeated defeats in the wars they fought with the Jews and the colonial states that cooperated with them all the time. Those conflicts ended in successive surrender, final normalization with the Zionist entity without restrictions, an attempt to ignore the resistance in various ways, and make its results in favor of the ruling regimes. However, it became clear that the Arab peoples - especially the Palestinian people - were determined to continue the resistance and the permanent struggle until the right would return to its owners.
