Yes, the major problem in relations between Israel and the Arab states was the resettlement of Palestinian refugees.
To arrive at this answer, you can use several methods. One method is to have a general knowledge of the history of the Israeli-Arab conflict. Another method is to carefully read the options provided.
Option a, resettlement of Palestinian refugees, directly relates to the issue of the Israeli-Arab conflict. It is well-known that the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 resulted in the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, who became refugees. The issue of resettlement and the right of return for these refugees has been a key point of contention between Israel and the Arab states.
Options b, c, and d are not directly related to the issue of Palestinian refugees. Failure to develop trade agreements, the status of Jerusalem, and Great Britain's influence were important factors in the overall Israeli-Arab conflict, but they were not the central problem specifically related to the resettlement of Palestinian refugees.
Therefore, based on the provided options, the correct answer is a. resettlement of Palestinian refugees.
