Lecture 18


        Currently there are still prevalent issues among Israel and Palestine. There is a West Bank Barrier that was put into place and completely separates the two areas so that there is no mistake of what belongs to who. However, the Israelites began building in some areas that belong to Palestine which has of course caused many current problems. The Hamas, which are considered a terrorist group defeated Fatah in the Palestinian elections in 2006 and have caused much of the problems occurring. There is a lot of unrest between these people because they are both hostile and protective about the land they have fought for. However, I think there is a hope for the future for peace because it is so close but will take a lot of effort. Hopefully, we will see progression in the next couple of years.
