Abstract EN:

Balfour's delcaration on november 2. 1917. Which gave a concrete form to the videa of a jewish national homeland in palestine, gave the spark to a bloody conflict in the holy land, which opposed, at first jewish settlers to arab natives, and thereafter, the jewish nationalism to arab nationalism. Sevral efforts have been deploied by third parties to resolve the conflict, and different methodes have been applied. Besides, the concerned parties have advanced their own proposals which reflected their respectives positions concerning the nature of the peace and the means to achieve it. All these efforts have failed to touch upon the core of the problem. The failure noted, in this respect is the outcome of a set reasons which are not confined solely to the belligerent parties in the middle east, but also encompass the existing international climate, and the weakness noted in the super-powers' relations with their allies in the region. Recently, new facts have emerged on the international stage, as well as in the region, that can give a stimulus to the peace process, nevertheless, this process stays precarious either in the framework of an international conference or througth any other arrangement.
