Abstract
This study tackles the American role towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict,
spotting thereby light onto the American foreign Policy during the reign of
President Bill Clinton; i.e. between 1993 and 2001. However, this subject is truly
considered one of the most crucial issues dealt with by the US Foreign Policy
towards what may have international interventions. Also, the study will identify the
path of U.S. role in the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations on the one hand, and on the
other hand the financial and material support for the parties to the dispute or to one
party, if any. Hence, the study will explain the alien issue which, at first glance,
considers the Clinton term as one of the most important periods of reconciliation,
which converged with the Palestinians in many of the important issues but with no
support extended to the Palestinian Authority directly with funds; on contrary to the
term of President George W. Bush, which is the period that is considered the period
of stalemate and disagreement in some important issues, but there has been certain
material and financial support directly addressed to the treasury of the Palestinian
Authority.
The methodology of the study is an analytical and historical one, because of the
need for both.
Since the term of President Bill Clinton has in fact been one of the most important
periods in the history of Israeli-Palestinian conflict, there has been a lot of the
American concern, especially that the period has witnessed the signing of the
Convention on the Oslo Declaration of Principles under the auspices of President
Bill Clinton, with all that has followed of numerous conferences and rounds of
negotiations where the United States has the most prominent role in it, whereas the
study has discussed the stages of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process from the
perspective of the American attendance with a brief history of U.S. policy toward
the Palestinians and the Israelis in order to start from a broad base and a common
understanding of the historical relatedness; it also has given notion to the meaning
of the US Foreign Policy from several aspects, surveillance of the very primitive
steps of the President Bill Clinton since the inception of his reign, his role and his
further steps towards supporting the negotiations.
And then the study has shed light on the US material support to the Palestinians and
the Israelis in that period and whether the U.S. financial support to the Palestinians
has been in harmony with the prevailing policies in that period and reason beyond
the same. The study has also focused on the political dimensions of the Camp David
2000 Conference and the Report regarding its importance to the U.S. towards the
conflict parties, whereas there has been a major U.S. effort at the highest level.
Therefore, the results of the American foreign policy have become apparent towards
the two parties of the conflict and that the latter stance or the position of President
Bill Clinton which in turn has expressed his failure to reach to a comprehensive
agreement between the Palestinians and the Israelis, despite the fact that Clinton has
taken the initiative within his vision to resolve the thorny issues; however, the
Camp David has been one of the most important conferences which discussed the
whole thorny issues between the Palestinians and the Israelis. But, however, the two
parties of the conflict have not accepted the perspective of President Bill Clinton
nor his proposals and instead they have expressed reservation towards some of the
items and refused some others.
