European Union and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Srnka, Vojtěch ; Dubský, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Veselý, Zdeněk (referee)
Next year will the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories celebrate the 50th Anniversary. European Union, the most significant trade partner of Israel as well as the biggest donor of Palestine, was for a long time a mere observer of a situation of deepening of the occupation and postponing of its end because of building of Israeli settlements on the one side and of gradual division of Palestinian territories between radical Hamas and Fatah. Just in the autumn of 2015 the European Union decided to take a restrictive step towards Israel by setting clear rules of labelling of Israeli goods produced in those Israeli settlements. However, a harsh response has come both from the Israeli government and from some of EU member states. Therefore this work focuses on evaluation of the legitimacy of this move and on trying to assess the reason of its partial failure.

Israeli-palestinian conflict on the backround of Palestinian family memory
Shomaliová, Lucie ; Dvořáková, Vladimíra (advisor) ; Houda, Přemysl (referee)
This thesis is focused on the israeli-palestinian conflict, which is an often discussed topic, but especially in the Czech literature the perspective of common people is missing. The main focus will be on family memory and how it transfers within the generations. This will be demonstrated on an analysis of interviews with members of four families (of three generations: grandparent, parent, child) living in the West bank. That is why the method of oral history will be used. The main timeline will be year 1967 which is remembered by the oldest member of the interviewed families. In 1967 the third arab-israeli war took place when Israel defeated Egypt, Syria and Jordan and started occupying the Golan Heights, Sinai peninsula and a large part of the Palestinian territory including the eastern part of Jerusalem. This war caused another exodus of Palestinians and the beginning of building illegal settlements in the West Bank. This event is usually described from the political point of view but little is known about what happened to common people. The point of this thesis is to view this issue from different than official sources and give the topic a new dimension.

The UN's role in the peace process in the Middle East
Páleníková, Hedvika ; Havlová, Radka (advisor) ; Novotná, Yvona (referee)
After the Second World War a new actor appeared on the international scene,replacing not too successful League of Nations, the United Nations. The Question of Palestine has been on the agenda of the United Nations since the Organization's earliest days. The international community was forced to settle the situation in the Middle East. This issue is not a part of the history, on the contrary, it is still a question of immediate interest. The UN role is not limited to adopting resolutions, the scope of activities is broader, although it has not fulfilled all the original expectations. Peace in the Middle East is currently conditioned by resolving the fundamental issues. The thesis deals with four of them: the Palestinian refugee, the status of Jerusalem, the issue of securing water resources and the Jewish settlements. The UN resolutions reflect its reactions to the most important events in the Middle East conflict. However,the role of the UN in the peace process is minor than in the past, in some areas it has been yet irreplaceable, it serves as a significant platform for mutual dialog between conflict parties.
