After 50 years of fighting and arguments between Palestinians and the Israel government, it seems that nothing has been achieved. Peace treaties have come and gone, some have partially worked, others have completely failed. Israel is left where it began, having difficulties with its Arab neighbors and internal strife with the Palestinians' quest for land and self-rule. Now, trying to predict what will arise in Israel's future, it seems that the trend will continue. Where Netanyahu was finally trying to cease the fighting and cede land to Palestinians, it appears the Prime Minister Barak is falling through on this plan, or at least delaying it for some time. Problems between the Palestinians and the Israeli government may never stop, but hopefully, with the help of Barak in years to come, they can at least slightly wane.
