Khartoum Resolution's Three 'No's Against Israel
During the Arab Summit in Khartoum, eight Arab nations convened to address the aftermath of the Six-Day War. This summit culminated in the issuance of the Khartoum Resolution, which articulated a unified stance against Israel, outlining three key refusals: no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, and no negotiations with Israel. These principles were adopted primarily in response to the territorial losses suffered by Arab nations during the conflict, including the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights.

Adopted in response to territorial losses
Solidified collective Arab stance against Israel
Influenced future Middle Eastern policies
What Happened?
In the aftermath of the Six-Day War, which witnessed significant territorial changes in the Middle East, the Arab Summit convened in Khartoum, Sudan. This summit was attended by eight Arab nations, including Egypt, Jordan, and Iraq, aiming to formulate a collective response to the military defeat they faced against Israel. The discussions centered on the implications of the war and how to address the perceived threat Israel posed to Arab sovereignty and identity. The culmination of the summit was the Khartoum Resolution, which famously encapsulated the three 'no's — no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, and no negotiations with Israel — serving as a rallying cry for Arab unity in opposition to Israel. This resolution was critical in shaping Arab policy towards Israel for years to come, emphasizing a commitment to resistance and non-recognition.
Why Does it Matter?
The Khartoum Resolution marked a pivotal moment in Arab-Israeli relations. By articulating a strict ‘no’ policy, it set the stage for ongoing conflict and resistance, reflecting the deep-seated animosity and distrust towards Israel that characterized much of the Arab discourse for decades. The resolution influenced subsequent political and military strategies among Arab states and reinforced the idea of a collective Arab identity against external threats.
