1. Why has the Middle East become a world hotspot?

1, the particularity of geographical location: connecting two oceans, three continents and five seas;

2. The complexity of ethnic relations: the establishment of a Jewish state in the "Arab world"

3. The uniqueness of Jerusalem: the holy land of three major religions (Judaism, Islam and Christianity);

4. Importance of petroleum status: "oil ocean";

5. Great power confrontation: the need of strategic interests.

Second, the origin of the Middle East issue

Due to historical factors, ethnic conflicts between Jews and Arabs caused by religious beliefs, territorial disputes and the ownership of important cultural heritage have a long history.

2. Rich in oil resources and strategically important. In areas that have always been valued and contested by big countries, countries actively support local forces, making the contradiction between Arab and Jewish peoples more complicated.

3. 19 17, Britain adopted the policy of "divide and rule" and published the Balfour Declaration in support of Jewish statehood. A large number of Jews moved in, and racial friction became more and more serious. ?

4. The United Nations General Assembly adopted the resolution on partition of Palestine despite Arab opposition.

5. The exclusive claim of two peoples to the same land is the key to the long-term Arab-Israeli conflict.

1947165438+1October, the second session of the general assembly adopted a resolution on the partition of Palestine, demanding that Britain end its mandated rule over Palestine as soon as possible, withdraw its troops, and then establish an Arab state in Palestine, with an area of 1. 1.0000 square kilometers? And the State of Israel, with an area of 1.4 million square kilometers? . At that time, Jews only accounted for 1/3 of the total population, but they got 58% of the land. The resolution also stipulates that the city of Jerusalem, as an "independent subject", should be administered by the United Nations.

The long-term war has caused many contradictions among countries in the Middle East, new hatred and old hatred, which seriously hindered the development of the Middle East and brought great disasters to the local people. Israel has never been recognized by Arabs; Arab countries and Palestine cannot recover lost ground through war.
