| Summary/Abstract |
The Palestinian-Israeli conflict does not date from today or the 1967 war; it goes back to the 1930s and 1940s when the Zionist movement stepped up its efforts to bring Jewish immigrants to Palestine, thus setting the stage for a future confrontation with the Palestinian Arabs. This confrontation had its full expression in the 1948 war, as a result of which the state of Israel was created and more than two-thirds of the Palestinians were uprooted from their homeland and became refugees. The international community failed then and has continued to fail so far to resolve this problem, and General Assembly Resolution 194 remains largely a symbol of the Palestinians' demand to be allowed to return to their homes and lands in what became known as Israel. Since then, any discussion revolving around the Israeli-Palestinian conflict switches immediately to a discussion of the Palestinians' right to return

| Summary/Abstract |
This article, excerpted from a chapter of a new book on the 1967 war, focuses on the debates within Israel, especially within the government, regarding the fate of the Palestinian refugees (particularly in Gaza) who came under Israeli control in the wake of the war. The article explores Israeli government and military involvement, including that of the prime minister's office, in soliciting and crafting a number of plans to bring about the out-migration of Palestinians from Gaza.

| Summary/Abstract |
For 40 years we did not speak about it. It did not exist. It was not an issue. It was not only that former Prime Minister Golda Meir said there was no Palestinian people; nobody dared to speak about the issue of refugees returning, and no one admitted that they would be allowed to come back to a state of Palestine.
First of all, there is no way that the issue of refugees will not be an integral part of the final status agreement. In fact, the final status talks that started under then-Prime Minister Ehud Barak in 1999 included the refugee issue on the agenda.
