The 1,500 Mile Raid
Historical United Nations Security Council on Israel-Tunisia, 1985
Dating back to the 19th century, the strained relations between the Arab and Israeli peoples have been a cause for global concern. Such tensions have left Israel and surrounding Arab countries plagued by violent acts of war, mass displacement, and never-ending territorial disputes. In 1947, the United Nations drafted the Partition Plan for Palestine with aims to create a two-state solution. Such a proposal was readily accepted by Jewish agencies however Arab leaders felt the provisions were a direct violation of the principles found in the UN Charter resulting in the ongoing civil conflict. The outbreak of the Arab-Israel War in 1948 presented a delicate situation which involved a conglomerate of Arab Nations fighting against Israeli and British forces. With constant revolts and insurgencies in both territories, the call for a solution that could be accepted by both parties could not be heard louder. The committee will take place on October 4th, 1985, following Tunisia’s formal complaint against the state of Israel after an air raid was conducted in its borders. Fueled by the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this committee will explore the complexities of this ongoing fight while trying to formulate a peaceful solution for Israel and Tunisia.
