It shows the basis on which Examiners were instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began, which would have considered the acceptability of alternative answers. Mark schemes should be read in conjunction with the question paper and the Principal Examiner Report for Teachers. Cambridge International will not enter into discussions about these mark schemes. Cambridge International is publishing the mark schemes for the May/June 2021 series for most Cambridge IGCSE™, Cambridge International A and AS Level components and some Cambridge O Level components.

0470/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 2 of 91 Generic Marking Principles These general marking principles must be applied by all examiners when marking candidate answers. They should be applied alongside the specific content of the mark scheme or generic level descriptors for a question. Each question paper and mark scheme will also comply with these marking principles. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 1: Marks must be awarded in line with: • the specific content of the mark scheme or the generic level descriptors for the question • the specific skills defined in the mark scheme or in the generic level descriptors for the question • the standard of response required by a candidate as exemplified by the standardisation scripts. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 2: Marks awarded are always whole marks (not half marks, or other fractions). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 3: Marks must be awarded positively: • marks are awarded for correct/valid answers, as defined in the mark scheme. However, credit is given for valid answers which go beyond the scope of the syllabus and mark scheme, referring to your Team Leader as appropriate • marks are awarded when candidates clearly demonstrate what they know and can do • marks are not deducted for errors • marks are not deducted for omissions • answers should only be judged on the quality of spelling, punctuation and grammar when these features are specifically assessed by the question as indicated by the mark scheme. The meaning, however, should be unambiguous. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 4: Rules must be applied consistently, e.g. in situations where candidates have not followed instructions or in the application of generic level descriptors. GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 5: Marks should be awarded using the full range of marks defined in the mark scheme for the question (however; the use of the full mark range may be limited according to the quality of the candidate responses seen). GENERIC MARKING PRINCIPLE 6: Marks awarded are based solely on the requirements as defined in the mark scheme. Marks should not be awarded with grade thresholds or grade descriptors in mind.

0470/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 3 of 91 Applying the Mark Scheme • When marking a response the overall criterion to be considered should be – ‘How good is this response to this question?’ • The Level Descriptor should be used to decide the level into which the quality of the answer fits. • Exhaustive lists of possible facts are not given in the mark scheme, as there is often a choice of factual knowledge that candidates may use. • WHERE EXAMPLES OF RESPONSES ARE GIVEN, THESE ARE NOT PRESCRIPTIVE, BUT ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE. It is not possible to cover every possible type of response within a levels of response mark scheme and examiners are expected to use their professional judgement at all times in ensuring that responses are placed in the correct level and given an appropriate mark within that level. • Marking must be positive. Marks must not be deducted for inaccurate or irrelevant parts of answers. In itself, poor use of historical terminology, spelling, grammar or handwriting does not affect the mark. The overall quality of the answer to the question should be judged. • If a candidate reaches a particular level, s/he must be rewarded with a mark within that level. It is not necessary to work through the levels. • The full range of marks should be used. Do not be afraid to award full marks or no marks. Failure to do this will seriously affect the distribution of marks. Be prepared to reward candidates who show any level of understanding. The mark scheme starts from basic acceptable response. Where a band of marks is indicated for a level, these marks should be used with reference to the development of the answer within that level. Assessment Objectives (a) recall, description (b) recall, explanation (c) recall, explanation and analysis

0470/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 5 of 91 Question Answer Marks 1(b) Why was there much support for liberalism in Europe in 1848? 6 Level 4 – Explains TWO reasons 6 Level 3 – Explains ONE reason 4–5 (Four marks for one explanation, five marks for full explanation) e.g. ‘There was a lot of support for liberalism because of poor government at the time and industrialisation. Industrialisation had strengthened the middle classes who believed that there needed to be improvements. The middle classes had become more important but they lacked political power which was still in the hands of the old traditional rulers. They wanted republican governments elected by some of the people and more economic and political freedoms such as freedom of the press and free speech.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘The poor quality of government at the time.’ ‘The rising middle classes wanted more influence and power.’ ‘The traditional rulers and aristocracy were still clinging on to power.’ ‘Liberal ideas were inspired by the Enlightenment.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘There was much support for it because people thought that big changes were necessary and so they turned to liberalism.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

0470/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 6 of 91 Question Answer Marks 1(c) Who were the stronger in France in 1848, conservatives or radicals? Explain your answer. 10 Level 5 – Explains with evaluation of ‘who were stronger’ 10 As Level 4 plus evaluation. Level 4 – Explanation of both sides 7–9 A L4 answer will have a minimum of three explanations (2 on one side; 1 on the other). This will be worth a mark of 7. Fuller explanation of one issue to be given two marks. An answer which only has one explanation on one side of the argument cannot be awarded more than 8. Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘I think the conservatives were stronger because they defeated the revolution. After the establishment of a republic, the conservatives gradually regained control and were strong enough to put down the June Days uprising. After that there was a conservative reaction leading to the election of Louis Napoleon and then the ending of the Republic and Napoleon becoming Emperor. This shows that the old system had been restored and the conservatives victorious.’ OR e.g. ‘The radicals were stronger because they had a lot of success. In February they were able to get rid of the hated Prime Minister Guizot, overthrow Louis Phillipe and set up a republic. In Paris people flooded onto the streets demanding reforms. National Workshops were set up to provide work for the unemployed. These achievements show how powerful the radicals were.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘The radicals were strong in Paris but had little support in the French countryside.’ ‘The conservatives defeated the June Day risings.’ ‘When Napoleon became emperor it showed that the conservatives were stronger.’ ‘The radicals were able to get rid of Louis Phillipe and the monarchy.’ ‘The radicals set up the National Workshops.’ ‘The election results of April showed that the radicals did not have a lot of support.’ ‘Napoleon’s victory in the December elections showed how weak the radicals were throughout France.’

Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘I disagree with this. There were more important long-term causes such as German nationalism and liberalism, the long-term decline of Austria, and the economic and military strength of Prussia. Without these, unification would not have happened. Bismarck operated in a context created by these factors. For example, Prussia was economically strong before Bismarck. It led the Zollverein and its industrial production was growing much faster than Austria’s. This gave Bismarck the strength that was needed for Prussia to become the dominant state in Germany.’ OR ‘I think Bismarck’s policies were crucial in bringing about German unification. He planned it from the beginning. This can be seen by the way in which he isolated and then defeated Austria. This meant Austria was excluded from German affairs, leaving Prussia all-powerful. Bismarck then set up the North German Confederation under the control of Prussia. He then created a war with France which was the other big obstacle to unifying Germany. This led to many southern states supporting Prussia which made Germany more unified. France was then defeated and Germany was unified.’

Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘I think this was Lincoln’s fault. The main reason that he was hated and feared in the South was his opposition to slavery which he made quite clear. For example, he opposed the creation of new slave states. It is not surprising that the South regarded him as an abolitionist and feared him. Slavery was crucial to the economy and way of life of the South, and people in the South resented any hint that the North would interfere with it. This can be seen by the fact that in the presidential elections Lincoln did not win a single state in the South, and soon after his victory southern states began to secede from the Union.’ OR ‘This was not Lincoln’s fault and there was not much he could have done about it. He did his best not to upset the South over slavery, for example, he often promised to enforce fugitive slave laws as president. In his speech when he became president, he promised not to interfere with slavery and he did not think that the federal government could abolish slavery in states where it already existed. In fact, with Lincoln as president, slavery in the South would have probably been secure, so it was not his fault that the South feared him.’

The Entente Cordiale had brought Britain and France closer and in 1911, during the Agadir Crisis, Britain had promised to help France if it was invaded by Germany. Britain was very worried by the idea of Germany quickly overrunning France as it had done in 1870. Germany controlling France and the English Channel would be a great threat to Britain.

It had made the situation in Europe very tense by its massive increase in armaments and its rivalry with Britain. Giving a ‘blank cheque’ to Austria was disastrous because it encouraged Austria to force a war with Serbia which started the events leading to a major European war. Without Germany’s support, Austria would not have gone so far as the ultimatum to Serbia. Germany’s support for Austria also alarmed Russia which then mobilised.’ OR e.g. ‘I think Russia was to blame. Its support for Serbia encouraged the Serbs to cause trouble for Austria. It is also important to remember that Russia mobilised first. This is what turned a conflict between Austria and Serbia into a major European war. Once Russia had mobilised, Germany had to act fast before it was surrounded from the East and the West.’

I think the League had an impossible job to do, especially because of the Depression. This led to extremists like Hitler coming to power around the world. These leaders were nationalists and had aggressive foreign policies such as Italy in Abyssinia, Japan in Manchuria and Germany across Europe. The Depression also made the members of the League more reluctant to use economic sanctions because they wanted to keep all the trade they could. So at the moment when the League’s action was needed most, the power of the League declined.’ OR e.g. ‘I agree with this statement. Britain was a leading member of the League and yet it really provided no proper leadership for the League. In fact, in many areas such as dealing with Germany’s aggression, Britain ignored the League and dealt with Germany directly. It appeased Germany and let it get away with taking over country after country. It also went behind the League’s back and came up with a secret deal with France, the Hoare- Laval Pact, to appease Italy. Britain did not want to upset Mussolini and was worried about driving him into the arms of Hitler. This is why Britain let the League down badly.’

Neither of these two countries was particularly friendly with the West and so they did not want either of them to be all-powerful. For example, if Iran had won it could have put an Islamic revolutionary government into Baghdad. This would have been disastrous for the West and would have threatened the West’s allies in the region such as Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘I do not think this was very surprising. The Shah had become very unpopular because of his repressive rule. He used secret police and informers and his opponents were tortured and executed. The leading enemy of the Shah was Ayatollah Khomeini, a Muslim cleric, who was in exile. At this stage, Khomeini focused on the grievances of the people such as the repressive rule and the great inequalities of wealth, but he really aimed at setting up an Islamic republic. When he returned to the country, a popular revolution overthrew the Shah and in 1979 a referendum was held to turn the country into an Islamic republic. This is not surprising because it is what Khomeini had been planning all the time.’ OR e.g. ‘I think this was surprising. Most of the opposition to the rule of the Shah had built up over his repressive policies that had little to do with religion. His rich life style was compared with the poverty of many Iranians and he spent a lot of the country’s wealth on weapons. This all led to massive demonstrations in Iran. Although Khomeini was an important figurehead, he was in exile and did not return to Iran until after the Shah and his family had fled. Many of the protests were about issues that had little to do with religion and most people were not demonstrating for an Islamic republic. So it was surprising when Khomeini set one up in 1979.’

It also showed how difficult it was to attack heavily fortified places and the Germans did not launch another major attack until 1918.’ OR e.g. ‘I disagree. The Battle of the Somme was more important. It involved a huge offensive by the British at the River Somme and was meant to defeat the Germans and end the war. It did not do this but it did take pressure off Verdun. The Germans had to take some of their troops away from the attack on Verdun to send them to the Somme front. This helped the French at Verdun hold out. The Somme was also important because it showed that the war would not be over quickly.’

Without the civilian workers producing all of this, the armies would have been powerless. Many of the people working in the factories producing all of this were women.

This is because its purpose was to help Russia in the war by defeating Turkey. This would mean Russia had one less country to fight on the Eastern Front. Not enough troops were sent for the attack and they ended up being stuck on the beaches under heavy fire. In the end, they were withdrawn in 1916.The reason this did not matter that much was that in the next year Russia signed an armistice and then withdrew from the war. This was because of the revolution in Russia and so the Gallipoli campaign would not have made much difference.’ OR e.g. ‘The failure of the Gallipoli campaign was important. By 1915 the fighting on the Western Front was at a stalemate and it was clear that neither side was going to make a breakthrough. The idea behind the invasion of Gallipoli was to win the war on the Eastern Front where Russia was fighting Turkey. However, it was a disaster. Tens of thousands of men were killed and the rest had to withdraw. This failure was important because it meant there would be no breakthrough and the war would last for years.’

The Nazis blamed the fire on communists and used it to persuade Hindenburg to pass an emergency decree that gave the government more powers and cut individual rights. This let Hitler arrest many of his opponents. He also used the fire to whip up hatred of the communists and this helped him do well in the election where he nearly got 50% of the total vote. Overall, the fire was important because it let him strengthen his position and make the communists weaker.’ OR e.g. ‘I disagree with this. The Night of the Long Knives was much more important because it was when Hitler dealt with the biggest threat he faced – from Rohm and the SA. Rohm had built up the SA and had over 2 million members, making him very powerful. He thought that Hitler was making too many compromises and wanted him to be more radical. He was openly criticising Hitler. In June 1933, Hitler moved against him and had the leaders of the SA, including Rohm, executed.

This kept the Tsar firmly in control of the country.’ OR e.g. ‘Yes, I am very surprised. Many of the reforms the Tsar passed, he soon went back on. The Duma was not the introduction of democracy. It was packed with Tsarists and the Tsar simply dissolved it whenever he wanted to. The Fundamental Laws gave him back a lot of his power and the Okhrana (the secret police) were brutal and were hated. All of this made the Tsar unpopular and it is surprising that he stayed in power until 1917. This is especially because he was weakened by Russia’s disastrous entry into the First World War.

It caused a lot of disruption with Kulaks opposing the policy. They killed livestock and destroyed their crops. This led to the amount of grain being produced going down. Stalin thought that Kulaks were hiding grain; he would not accept that less was being produced. The result was famine that killed millions of people, especially in Ukraine.’ OR e.g. ‘Russian agriculture was backward, was not producing the amount of food needed and had to be reformed. Collectivisation was needed to increase production. The fact that it did not work well at the beginning was not the fault of collectivisation but the fault of Kulaks who opposed the policy. They burned crops, killed millions of their animals and damaged machinery. This caused less food to be produced and the result was famine. By the late 1930s, most farms were collectivised, new machinery was being used and the production of food did go up. Overall, it did more good than harm.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘Collectivisation was opposed by Kulaks and this led to disruption with much livestock being killed.’ ‘It did a lot of harm because it caused famine.’ ‘In the long run it did increase the production of food.’ ‘Collectivisation did harm to the Kulaks who lost their farms and some were executed or sent to Siberia.’

They did not have labour-saving devices and had to bring up children and work hard on the farm. They did not have much money and lived hard lives just as in the past. Small farmers and labourers in rural areas did not benefit from the boom in the 1920s and lived much poorer lives than workers in the cities where there were plenty of well- paid jobs.’ OR e.g. ‘I agree with this. If you were poor then it did not make much difference where you lived. The majority of American workers lived below the poverty line and they could be found in rural and urban areas. Many workers in cities such as female cotton operatives were paid low wages and were no better off than small farmers or labourers in rural areas. Black Americans suffered from discrimination in rural and urban areas.

The First New Deal did an awful lot and was a success. It helped farmers by paying them to cut production. This increased their income. Banks were saved and reopened again. Employment was provided by job creation schemes and building projects such as dams and roads. Industry was helped to recover by using the ‘Blue Eagle’ scheme which businesses joined.

The peasants supported Mao and the Communists because they treated the peasants much better than the Nationalists. Mao insisted that the Communists lived with the peasants and helped them. He also promised the peasants their own land. This was very important because the peasants were the largest group in China and so this gave the Communists mass support. Mao dominated the Communists and gave them clear leadership.’ OR e.g. ‘I think that other factors were important. The corruption of the Nationalists was very unpopular with the Chinese people. It was so bad that it made the Americans stop sending support to them. The Nationalists lost support and even their own soldiers began to desert and join the Communists who were seen as defenders of the country. The tactics of the Communists also helped.

Agriculture also benefited economically from the introduction of greater resources following on from a sharp increase in the prices paid for farm goods and products from 1979.

0470/13 Cambridge IGCSE – Mark Scheme PUBLISHED May/June 2021 © UCLES 2021 Page 81 of 91 Question Answer Marks 20(b) Why was there opposition to apartheid from outside South Africa? 6 Level 4 – Explains TWO reasons 6 Level 3 – Explains ONE reason 4–5 (Four marks for one explanation, five marks for full explanation) e.g. ‘This happened because more and more nations in Africa were winning their independence from the colonial rule of whites. As black Africans took over in countries near South Africa like Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe, they were hostile to South Africa and apartheid. South Africa had been able to depend on these ‘buffer states’ but not after the 1970s and 1980s. These countries let organisations like the ANC, liberation fighters from Namibia and even soldiers from Cuba set up camps from which they could attack South Africa.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘This was because more African countries were being ruled by black governments who were against apartheid.’ ‘The United Nations had many countries with black governments and they were against apartheid, turning the UN against it.’ ‘Many ordinary people in countries like Britain were horrified by the injustices of apartheid.’ ‘Events like Sharpeville turned more people outside South Africa against apartheid.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘There was lots of opposition because people did not like the way apartheid was working in South Africa.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

Explain your answer. 10 Level 5 – Explains with evaluation of ‘how far’ 10 As Level 4 plus evaluation. Level 4 – Explanation of both sides 7–9 A L4 answer will have a minimum of three explanations (2 on one side; 1 on the other). This will be worth a mark of 7. Fuller explanation of one issue to be given two marks. An answer which only has one explanation on one side of the argument cannot be awarded more than 8. Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘Yes, I think it was a turning point. When other events like Sharpeville had happened in the past, the police had quickly regained control but after Soweto there was almost never-ending unrest and violence and the police never really got the townships under control again. From this moment, opposition to apartheid grew and exploded in the 1980s. The townships became hotbeds of opposition and hid ANC guerrillas. The Soweto Uprising started all this.’ OR e.g. ‘No, I do not think it was a turning point. There had been riots and demonstrations long before this and this was just one of many. It is important to remember that it was still a long time before apartheid and minority rule would be ended at the end of the 1980s and in the early 1990s. What was happening in South Africa was a gradual declining of apartheid that had been going on for a long time. Soweto was just a step in that process.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘The government never gained control of the townships again.’ ‘After Soweto, opposition just grew and grew.’ ‘Soweto led to even more opposition to apartheid around the world.’ ‘A lot still needed to happen after Soweto before apartheid was ended.’ ‘Soweto was just one of many demonstrations and periods of unrest.’ ‘The important protests were those in the second half of the 1980s, not those in the 1970s.’

During the war, the Arab states had announced an embargo on oil supplies to the US and the West. Although the war ended shortly afterwards, this threat showed everyone what a powerful weapon the oil states had over the West. The Arab states produced over a third of the world’s oil and they could cripple the West’s economies by reducing supply.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘It showed the Arab states could harm the West by stopping the supply of oil.’ ‘The Arab states worked together much more effectively.’ ‘The Arab armed forces and people regained a lot of self-confidence.’ ‘Israel realised that it would not have security until a diplomatic solution was found.’ ‘The oil threat made the US keener to find a settlement.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 e.g. ‘The consequences were very important to the whole world and changed the situation quite a lot.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

Explain your answer. 10 Level 5 – Explains with evaluation of ‘how far’ 10 As Level 4 plus evaluation. Level 4 – Explanation of both sides 7–9 A L4 answer will have a minimum of three explanations (2 on one side; 1 on the other). This will be worth a mark of 7. Fuller explanation of one issue to be given two marks. An answer which only has one explanation on one side of the argument cannot be awarded more than 8. Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘The Six-Day War was a great success for Israel and solved its problems by strengthening the country and weakening Arab countries. Israel had been worried about possible attacks by the Arab countries and so struck first. By destroying so much of the Arab armed forces and winning more land, Israel was much more secure. Winning the Golan Heights improved Israel’s defences against Syria and its defences in other areas were improved by driving Egypt back across the Sinai. At the end of the war, the Arab states were in no position to threaten Israel.’ OR e.g. ‘The Six-Day War actually increased Israel’s problems. The military victory would not ensure Israel’s safety forever. Only a diplomatic settlement would do that. Its conquests of Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights meant that many Palestinian Arabs were now living under Israeli control. This would cause Israel problems in the future as would Arab claims that Israel had no right to the conquered territory.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes 2–3 (One mark for each point) e.g. ‘The Arab countries were seriously weakened militarily.’ ‘Israel conquered much land around Israel.’ ‘The Golan Heights made it easier for Israel to protect itself against Syria.’ ‘Israel gained much more defensible borders.’ ‘The Arab states still refused to recognise Israel.’ ‘The land conquered by Israel caused future problems with the Arab states who wanted it back.’ ‘Israel now faced an enormous problem over the million Palestinians now under its control.’ ‘A diplomatic solution was needed to make Israel safe, not military victories.’

Its relations with Israel have been very bad and it has caused problems on the border with Israel. In 2006 Israel claimed it abducted and killed three Israeli soldiers. Later in the year a full-scale war broke out when Hezbollah invaded and kidnapped and killed Israeli soldiers. Israel invaded southern Lebanon while Hezbollah fired rockets at Israel.’ Level 2 – Identifies AND/OR describes reasons 2–3 (One mark for each identification/description) e.g. ‘Hezbollah has attacked Israel’s border and killed Israeli soldiers.’ ‘Hezbollah has claimed gas fields in Israel.’ ‘It has thousands of rockets stationed on the Israeli border.’ ‘Hezbollah does not recognise Israel and has called for its destruction.’ Level 1 – General answer lacking specific contextual knowledge 1 ‘It has been a problem for Israel because of its activities and threats.’ Level 0 – No evidence submitted or response does not address the question 0

Explain your answer. 10 Level 5 – Explains with evaluation of ‘how far’ 10 As Level 4 plus evaluation. Level 4 – Explanation of both sides 7–9 A L4 answer will have a minimum of three explanations (2 on one side; 1 on the other). This will be worth a mark of 7.

Level 3 – One-sided explanation OR one explanation of both sides 5–6 marks 4–6 More detailed explanation of one issue to be given two marks. e.g. ‘I agree with this. Israel has built Jewish settlements on land it occupied after the Six-Day War. This includes the West Bank and East Jerusalem as well as the Golan Heights. This has caused enormous problems because Israel regards them as legal while most countries as well as the UN and Palestinians regard them as illegal. They have been an obstacle to peace because even the US has sometimes stated that withdrawal from most settlements is necessary for a peace agreement. Israel refuses to accept that.’ OR e.g. ‘The PLO campaigned and fought for a Palestinian state for many years. Its use of guerrilla, and even terrorist, tactics lost the cause support and made peace more difficult. Some Israelis have claimed that the creation of a Palestinian state has created a breeding ground for organisations like Hamas and so this has made peace more difficult. However, many people, even at times the USA, argued that there would no peace without the question of a Palestinian state being settled.’
