The Question of Palestine: An Analysis of the History of the Conflict Between Palestine and Israel, International Regulations, and the Role of International Authorities

Abstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the significance and impact of historical events that have shaped the relationship between Palestine and Israel, beginning with the Balfour Declaration of 1917 and continuing to current developments. It seems that the major global powers continue to exert the same level of influence on the outcome of this conflict as they did in the past.

The scope of this paper is to also identify which international regulations are applicable to this situation and explore potential solutions that could be achieved through them. These legal frameworks have been established by state-created bodies, and their true importance will be determined by how effectively they are implemented.

International authorities responsible for enforcing these rules appear to be actively involved. The Principal Organs of the United Nations are addressing this issue, with a key development being the engagement of the International Court of Justice, which has issued strong statements through its reasoning and decisions.

Moreover, the involvement of the International Criminal Court is historically significant, as the Prosecutor Karim Khan has issued arrest warrants against representatives from both sides, citing serious charges. The ruling by this court will establish a significant precedent, showcasing its actual authority and autonomy.

Key words: conflict, international regulations, international authorities, International Court of Justice, International Criminal Court
