The objective of this article is to analyze from the perspective of the hidropolicy the development of the Arab- Israeli conflict. The article is based on the study of the influence of the geopolitics of water in the region of Israel, who invaded the Palestinian territory and currently maintains control in large part of the area. The study shows the importance of the analysis of water as a geopolitical factor that generates disputes and wars, and is projected to the future according to experts from the UN and the World Bank, as a factor of hemispheric security against possible wars during the twenty-first century.
