Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict refers to the longstanding and complex struggle between the Jewish and Palestinian national movements over land, rights, and sovereignty in the region of historic Palestine, which includes the modern state of Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This conflict has deep historical roots, influenced by various factors including nationalism, religion, colonialism, and international politics. It has witnessed multiple wars, uprisings, and peace efforts, but has remained unresolved since the mid-20th century when the state of Israel was established in 1948, leading to significant displacement and ongoing disputes about borders, the status of Jerusalem, the rights of refugees, and security concerns. The conflict has significant implications for both regional and global politics, drawing varying levels of international involvement and differing perspectives on justice and legitimacy from both sides.
