Israel–Palestine Conflict: A Brief Overview
The Israel–Palestine conflict is a long-standing struggle over land, identity, and sovereignty in the Middle East. It began in the early 20th century with tensions between Jews and Arabs under British rule. In 1948, the state of Israel was established, leading to war and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
Key issues include borders, Israeli settlements, the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian statehood, and the right of return for refugees. The conflict has caused repeated violence, especially in Gaza, and peace efforts have repeatedly stalled. Despite global calls for a two-state solution, a lasting resolution remains elusive.
