Late Compromises or Slow Palestine People
Beso Kurtanidze, Liberal
 After
Israel side failed to persuade Arabs to accept the conditions of
dividing the territory, the Foreign Minister of Israel Abba Eban said:
“Arabs never miss opportunity to miss chance.” Initially, they offered
60 % of disputable land to Palestine people. Since Arabs considered
“one stadium” of land was too much for Jewish, they did not agree – and
rebelled, started war and in 1948 already independent Israel offered
only 44 % of the territory to the defeated Palestine in accordance to
the UN plan. The opposite side did not accept their offer either.
Israel was recognized by Nauru. On the same year, Israel defeated
coalition of Arab states and invaded 78 % of the territory. In 1967
after the “six-day war” they occupied 84 % of the entire territory.
Arabs had left only 16 % of the initially offered 60 %.
