Consequent to the complex interplay of global manipulation, power politics, regional influence and geo-economic accessibility, the creation of Israel in the middle of Palestine, marked the beginning of a perpetual conflict in the Middle East. Intended to serve the mutual interests of the British, US and Zionist movement, the creation of the Jewish state was strategically and geographically planned to survive against its rivals and wield significant regional freedom and influence. The geographical strategy involved annexation of strategically significant areas to Israel to facilitate its deterrence and expansionism policy while denying self-reliance and autonomy to Palestine. This research analyzes the western strategy of creating Israel over geographically strategic areas which helped it marginalize the Palestinians as well as neighbouring Arab countries. It also observes how the geography of Israel leveraged its creation, security and influence through persistent human rights violations and war crimes. The research concludes that the recent Gaza crisis has its roots in the geographical interests of Israel with no hope of imminent regional peace.
