Abstract
This academic research examined the factors that impacted the effectiveness of Arab League's policy towards resolving the Israel-Palestine conflict from 2017 to 2023. Utilizing qualitative research methods, primary and secondary data were meticulously gathered and analyzed. Purposive sampling was employed to select key informants for in-depth interviews, providing valuable insights into the League's multifaceted approach. Through a meticulous blend of thematic and content analysis, this study evaluated the League's actions and their tangible impact on conflict resolution efforts. The findings revealed a nuanced landscape where the effectiveness of the Arab League's policy remained a topic of ongoing debate. Over time, the League's approach evolved in response to changing regional dynamics, international relations, and internal Arab politics. The study underscored how external factors, such as US vetoes and UNSC bias, hindered peace efforts by obstructing the adoption of resolutions aligned with the League's stance, thereby testing its influence on international outcomes. Acknowledging the League's enforcement limitations, similar to other international bodies, the study highlighted challenges in implementing its policies towards the Israel-Palestine conflict. Nonetheless, it emphasized that this limitation was systemic, affecting all international organizations involved in conflict resolution. Conclusively, the study refrained from categorizing the League's effectiveness as either fully effective or ineffective, acknowledging the complexity of its role. Implications of this research extend to informing policymakers and stakeholders engaged in regional conflict resolution, suggesting potential adjustments to diplomatic strategies and enhanced cooperation among international bodies. This research contributed to the understanding of the complexities surrounding the Israel-Palestine conflict and highlighted the need for further examination of external influences on regional conflict resolution efforts.
