    The correct answer is 1964. The PLO, which stands for the Palestinian Liberation Organization, was established in 1964.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    The statement is true because in 1964, the West Bank and Gaza were both under the control of Arab nations. This was before the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel gained control of these territories. Therefore, at the time mentioned, the statement accurately reflects the situation on the ground.

    • To provide humanitarian aid to the Palestinians.

    Correct Answer
    A. To remove by force the entire state of Israel from the map of the Middle East
    Explanation
    The PLO, or Palestine Liberation Organization, was formed with the objective of removing the entire state of Israel from the Middle East map by force. This goal was rooted in the belief that Israel's establishment had resulted in the displacement and oppression of Palestinians. The PLO sought to protect the rights and interests of the Palestinian people through armed resistance and liberation.

    Did Israel accept the 1947 partition plan from the UN?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. Yes
    Explanation
    Israel did accept the 1947 partition plan from the UN. The plan, known as UN Resolution 181, proposed the division of Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states. Although the Arab states rejected the plan, Israel accepted it, leading to the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948. This acceptance marked a significant milestone in the history of Israel and its relationship with the international community.

    Did the Arabs accept the 1947 partition plan from the UN?

    • Yes

    • No

    Correct Answer
    A. No
    Explanation
    The Arabs did not accept the 1947 partition plan from the UN. The plan proposed dividing Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem under international administration. However, the Arab countries rejected this plan because they believed it favored the Jewish population and did not adequately address their concerns. Instead, they sought to establish a unified Arab state in Palestine and opposed the creation of a Jewish state. This led to the Arab-Israeli conflict and the subsequent war between the Arab states and Israel.

    Israel took over the West Bank in a war of self-defense in 1967.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    In 1967, Israel engaged in a war known as the Six-Day War, which was fought against neighboring Arab countries. During this conflict, Israel occupied the West Bank as a measure of self-defense. This answer suggests that Israel took control of the West Bank during the war in order to protect itself from potential threats posed by its neighboring countries.

    • 1967

    Correct Answer
    A. 1993
    Explanation
    In 1993, Israel and the Palestinians signed the Oslo Accords. This agreement was a significant milestone in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as it aimed to establish a framework for peace negotiations and a gradual transfer of power to the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The Accords were signed in Washington D.C. under the supervision of the United States and were seen as a breakthrough in the peace process, although the ultimate goal of a final resolution to the conflict has yet to be achieved.

    • Terrorist attacks.

    • Refugees.

    Correct Answer
    A. Terrorist attacks.
    Explanation
    After signing the Oslo Accords, Israel experienced an increase in terrorist attacks. The Oslo Accords were a set of agreements between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) aimed at resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, these agreements faced opposition from extremist groups who resorted to violence to disrupt the peace process. As a result, Israel witnessed a rise in terrorist attacks during the following five years. This increase in attacks highlights the challenges faced in implementing the peace agreements and the persistence of conflict in the region.

    Israel's presence in the West Bank is also known as The Occupation.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
