Abstract ABSTRACT Thesis Title: The US Role Towards Israel and Palestine Conflict: A Comparative Analysis of Obama and Trump Administrations Over past 70 years, Israel-Palestine conflict has been a central point of Middle Eastern politics. Despite religious clash; Israel-Palestine has their differences on power and land distribution. Since 1990s, the two sides have tried to resolve their land dispute and cease the ongoing cycle of bloodshed by International intervention. Therefore, the US played a key role with respect to Israeli-Palestinian conflict and engaged in Middle East affairs because of the US national and strategic interests, but the US has been unable to negotiate a long-lasting deal between both the sides due to the every US administrations national preferences hence, the conflict has remained unresolved. The Barack Obama Administration during his two terms has made many positive steps than any previous administration and developed the bilateral approach to negotiate the peacemaking but despite such efforts there was little progress towards resolving the conflict due to lack of firm and strategic mechanism. On the other side, President Donald Trump has adopted considerably opposite approach than Obama Administration approach. Trump developed unilateral approach and unconditionally supporting Israelis than any previous US administration. Under such circumstances this study comprehensively explores the US role toward Israel-Palestine conflict while comparatively analyses President Obama and President Trump administration approaches to resolve the thorny issues between Israel-Palestine.
