I also thought it was about Israël and Palestine. You are absolutely right, also the 3 noes didn't help. For anyone that doesn't know
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khartoum_Resolution
At some point the Arabic countries said
No peace with Israel, No negotiation with Israel, No recognition of Israel
This really didn't help at all and basically made the conflict much worse to resolve.
Thanks for the link, I didn't know that. There's also the first "no" which was the Arabs saying no to the UN partition plan of mandatory Palestine.
It reminds me of the buzz on twitter last year about "how much land should Ukraine cede to Russia in exchange for peace" and the general concensus there was also "no".
