The Arab-Israeli conflict has been a major focus of world attention for over 40 years. Central to this conflict is the issue of the West Bank - occupied by Israel since 1967 - and the future and respective rights of both Palestinians and Israelis. This book concentrates on the main points of contention between the two peoples, set within a broader politico-geographical framework. Particular attention is paid to the issues of demography and territory. The analysis is brought right up to date with a discussion of the implications of the recent Palestinian uprising (Intifadeh). The final chapter compares the wide range of solutions that have been proposed for ending the conflict.
