The Arab-Israeli conflict has been a source of instability in the Middle East since the birth of Israel in 1948. After a series of wars, Egypt signed a peace treaty with Israel in 1979 and Jordan followed suit in 1994. Israeli-Palestinian negotiations broke down after the 1993 Oslo accords and many Arab extremists remain committed to destroying Israel.
