Just as Palestinians were gaining international attention as a political question requiring a diplomatic solution – marked by acceptance of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) in Europe, the United States, and eventually Israel – on the ground, the possibility of a resolution in territorial terms was narrowing considerably. As Palestinians successfully organized around a unified political message of independent statehood in the 1970s, the possible space in which their national home could be built was fast disappearing under Israeli sovereignty. The political consequences of Egyptian-Israeli peace, coupled with the PLO’s expulsion from Lebanon, shifted the Palestinian struggle to the occupied territories as diplomatic efforts yielded limited political rights. This left a national movement disconnected from the successful fulfilment of its statist project, a challenge that continues to shape the Palestinian struggle. date: 2022-10-27 date_type: published publisher: Routledge official_url: https://doi.org/10.4324/9780429027376-11 oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1605404 doi: 10.4324/9780429027376-11 isbn_13: 978-0367135942 lyricists_name: Anziska, Seth lyricists_id: SANZI99 actors_name: Anziska, Seth actors_id: SANZI99 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public place_of_pub: London, UK pagerange: 122-135 book_title: The Routledge Companion to the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict edition: 1st editors_name: Siniver, Asaf citation: Anziska, SE; (2022) The Palestinians and Arab-Israeli Diplomacy, 1967-1991.
