Middle East peace process

Levantine conflict resolution

The Middle East peace process refers to ongoing diplomatic efforts to resolve conflicts in the Middle East, particularly the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The phrase emerged in the 1970s and gained prominence after the Oslo Accords of the 1990s.

It often carries a weary or cynical tone, given decades of stalled negotiations: The Middle East peace process has produced more summits than solutions.
