  • 2. 

    Only one war is currently taking place between Israel and Palestine.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The statement "Only one war is currently taking place between Israel and Palestine" is false. There have been multiple conflicts between Israel and Palestine throughout history, and the situation is currently characterized by ongoing tensions and sporadic outbreaks of violence rather than a single, continuous war. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a complex and long-standing issue involving political, territorial, and religious disputes.

    Which of the following accords is often considered a significant step towards attempting to resolve the Israel-Palestine conflict, although it ultimately did not lead to a lasting peace?

    • Camp David Accords (1978)

    • Oslo Accords (1993)

    • Wye River Memorandum (1998)

    • Madrid Conference (1991)

    Correct Answer
    A. Oslo Accords (1993)
    Explanation
    The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993, were a significant step towards resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict, as they marked the first face-to-face agreement between the Government of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). The accords outlined a process intended to lead to a two-state solution, although they did not result in a lasting peace. The other options are also related to the Middle East peace process but are not as directly linked to the Israel-Palestine conflict as the Oslo Accords.

    Correct Answer
    A. 1897
    Explanation
    The Zionist Movement was founded in 1897. This movement aimed to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, which was then under Ottoman rule. The movement was led by Theodor Herzl, who believed that the creation of a Jewish state was necessary for the survival and protection of the Jewish people. The First Zionist Congress, held in Basel, Switzerland, marked the official establishment of the movement and laid the groundwork for future efforts to establish a Jewish state, which eventually led to the creation of Israel in 1948.

  • 8. 

    Why was Palestine denied statehood even though more than 100 nations in the UN approved?

    • They did not recognise the existence of Israel

    • US were not in favor of them

    • They were at war with Israel

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. They did not recognise the existence of Israel
    A. US were not in favor of them
    Explanation
    Palestine was denied statehood because they did not recognize the existence of Israel and the United States was not in favor of them. Recognition of Israel's existence is a crucial factor for many countries to support the statehood of Palestine. Additionally, the United States plays a significant role in international politics and its opposition can greatly influence the decisions made by other nations. Therefore, the combination of Palestine's refusal to recognize Israel and the lack of support from the United States led to their denial of statehood.
