After agreeing to establish the State of Israel, they should have stood by that agreement and ended the refugee camps one way or another long long ago. That as much as anything else gives the conflict its character of having no long term solution.


The Brits negotiated the resettlement of refugees and the exchange of populations (Jews of Arab lands for Arabs of Palestine) as part of the Armistice of 1949. The Arabs chucked out the Jews, then reneged on the other half of the deal. Instead they got the UN to create UNWRA and pay for the refugees in perpetuity, without resettlement.
