Résumé :

Since 1948 the israeli-Palestinian conflict has occupied a central place in the field of conflict resolution. It can therefore be defined as an intractable conflict, as intractable conflict denotes a relationship of rivalry between two actors punctuated by periodic recourse to war or large scale violence. Intractable conflicts are a great threat to international peace and security. One might therefore expect global society, that is to say individuals, organizations and states to do something in order to manage them in order to prevent a hobbesian state of nature. During the last 50 years, the various parties to the conflict have included israelis, Egyptians, Jordanians, Syrians and Palestinians. New actors such as the US, the UN and the EU have been playing an increasing role in the conflict. Furthermore, as Bercovitch and Kadayifci have analysed it, the issues of the conflict have also expanded from territorial and sovereignty to identity, religion and existence. The two parties face themselves in an adversial relationship characterized by numerous acts of violence and counter-violence, dehumanisation of each party and unwillingness to engage in serious conflict management
