Arab countries, as well as others, interpret Resolution as the basis for the "right of return" of Palestinian refugees 1. Hence, they argue that Resolution is the interpretation of a "just settlement" that appears in Resolution However, because Resolution does not specifically mention , Israel does not interpret it as harboring the "right of return" and therefore sees it as a possible basis for the solution to the refugee problem.

Finally, aside from the controversy over the omission of the definite article in the withdrawal clause and the intended meaning of UN Security Council Resolution as described above, the resolution as whole — all alleged ambiguities notwithstanding - can only mean a return to the pre-war borders.
The alternative interpretation would be territorial aggrandizement for the benefit of one party. This is under no circumstances reconcilable with the Charter of the United Nations, particularly with the Articles 1 and 2.
The significance of resolution has been reaffirmed on various occasions over the decades. Indeed, the last time this happened was on 17 December , when resolution [37] was adopted unanimously. The acceptance of resolution by the Palestine Liberation Organisation in and the abandonment of the policy that had, as its ultimate aim, the total destruction of the Israeli state, was a very auspicious development.
After all, it meant the abdication of the claim to almost 80 per cent of former British Mandate Palestine and the acceptance of the existence of Israel. In recent months, the Palestinian leadership has been showing its willingness to settle for even less than that, when it declared its approval of the proposals by the Clinton administration during the the negotiations held in Taba in December The resolution was adopted unanimously on 28 March on the basis of a Saudi proposal.
While Israel has withdrawn from the Sinai peninsula and concluded a peace treaty with Egypt and, more recently, with Jordan, the prospects of an end to the occupation of the Golan Heights, but particularly of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip seem rather grim.
In recent years, the continuing colonisation of Palestinian territories by Israel has been one of the major obstacles towards a progress in the peace process that has henceforth been terminated.
The current, Likud-led Israeli administration has explicitly refused to accept its obligation under international law to end the occupation of Arab territories. Bailey, Sydney D. Quandt, William B.

Introduction United Nations Security Council Resolution remains to this day, almost 36 years after it was adopted unanimously, the only internationally-agreed framework for a peaceful settlement of the Middle East conflict.
Historical Context: The June War of The June War of , also known as the Six Days War, was the most far reaching of all Israeli-Arab confrontations, with the Arabs badly defeated and their Israeli adversaries experiencing an unprecedented victory, almost tripling the territory under their control. Who cast the first stone? The Making of Resolution In the weeks and months following the conflict of June , the urgent need for a strong, meaningful and comprehensive United Nations Security Council Resolution arose.
Conclusions Finally, aside from the controversy over the omission of the definite article in the withdrawal clause and the intended meaning of UN Security Council Resolution as described above, the resolution as whole — all alleged ambiguities notwithstanding - can only mean a return to the pre-war borders.

A Balanced Approach Policy brief on possible reforms of t We did not say that the '67 boundaries must be forever. As regards the West Bank, resolution thus allows for any final border to depart from the pre line, particularly to ensure that the border will be one which Israel will be able to defend militarily in the event of any repeat of the aggression against it in and Resolution was formally accepted by Israel in May but was rejected by Palestinian leaders for 21 years, and they did not fully accept it until It has nevertheless become one of the most frequently affirmed resolutions on the Arab-Israeli conflict and formed the basis for the negotiations that led to Israel's Peace Treaties with Egypt in and Jordan in , as well as the and Oslo Accords and other agreements with the Palestinians.
It remains internationally recognised as foundational to any future peace deal between Israel and the Palestinians. Interestingly, resolution does not mention Jerusalem by name. The eastern part of Jerusalem is presumably included in the expression "territories occupied in the recent conflict. Israel's parliament, Ministerial offices, Supreme Court, President's residence and Prime Minister's residence have been located in the western part of Jerusalem since a short time after the State of Israel was established in When government officials from other countries visit Israel, they meet with Israeli government officials, and one another, in Jerusalem.
When foreign ambassadors come to Israel to present their credentials, they do so in Jerusalem. When the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat made his first visit to Israel in , two years before Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, he went to Jerusalem and addressed the Israeli parliament there. President Donald Trump's recent announcement recognising Jerusalem as Israel's capital was therefore a pragmatic acknowledgement of an existing reality.
The announcement was far more nuanced than was generally acknowledged. It is clear from the text that the announcement explicitly left open the question of where the borders of Israel's capital should be.
