The question of the territory of Palestine has been and still is one of the greatest, if not the greatest challenge that remains to be solved in the international community. It is also one of the oldest challenges it is facing, having been an issue in need of a resolution since before the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
The objective of this paper is to establish whether Palestine is a state and what has been the impact of the entrance of Palestine within the system of the United Nations as an observer state. To do this I will analyze several situations independently. First I believe that it is fundamental to understand the history of the conflict. The Arab-Israeli conflict is one of the oldest ongoing conflicts in the world. Both sides have been on the opposite side of the spectrum for a long time, and it is vital that their history is understood to understand the conflict and the consequences of the changes occurring. Without looking at the history of this conflict it is impossible to understand Palestinian claims for statehood and Israel’s view on the process.
