//ISRAEL & PALESTINE//

__**Background:**__ The Israel and Palestine war has been raging on for more than 50 years, and started being a problem at the end of World War I. It is a violent war for land, and for the most part, the holy city of Jerusalem. Jews and Palestinians both want Jerusalem, because it traces back to religion, and who should inherit Abraham's land. Palestinians often retaliate against the Jews, and there are even suicide bombings being planned and performed. In addition, the Palestinians have recently been enraged with the facts that when Jerusalem was made a country, the Jews had pushed them out of their homeland, and now live in shantis and poor countries, while the Jews prosper. In 1993, the Israeli prime minister and Palestinian prime minister had ordered a peace treaty, promising peace after long years of war. The Declaration of Principles was signed and henceforth, peace would soon be in order. Unfortunately, the Palestinian prime minister was assassinated, and the 5 year interim that had been assigned was no longer applied.

__**UN Involvement:**__ Over the years, the UN has made several attempts to provide safety for Palestinian refugees. The UN has tried many things, such as provide refugee camps in the Middle East, where more than half of the refugees currently dwell. The camps are often overcrowded and full of poverty. In addition, the UN has created the UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees). What UNRWA does is they attempt to try and find better areas for Palestinian refugees to live, and track the number of refugees that still exist.

__**Country Policy:**__ North Korea is currently a communist country, and is not involved with the Israel and Palestinian war. Even though North Korea has not been involved with the Israeli and Palestinian war, they would like to stop it, for it is been raging on for over 50 years, and should be ended immediately. North Korea will be glad to help end this war soon.

__**Solutions****:**__ North Korea believes that if all countries surrounding Israel would have to sign a peace treaty, guaranteeing that war will stop after a certain date. We will do this by slowly ending the selling of arms to all Palestinians and Israelis. As the war stops, the fight over Jerusalem with will be addressed by the prime minister of Palestine and Israel. This will then be solved through a truce, where both Israel and Palestine share the holy city of Jerusalem.
