Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict refers to the ongoing political and territorial dispute between Israelis and Palestinians. This conflict has its roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, primarily centered around competing national claims to the land of historic Palestine, which includes modern-day Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.The conflict intensified after the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, which was accompanied by the displacement of many Palestinians, an event known as the Nakba, or "catastrophe." Key issues at the heart of the conflict include the status of Jerusalem, borders, security, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, and the establishment of viable Palestinian statehood.Efforts to resolve the conflict have included various peace processes, negotiations, and international interventions, yet a lasting and comprehensive solution has remained elusive. Violence and tensions have been recurrent, characterized by military confrontations, intifadas (uprisings), and ongoing disputes over settlements and land claims. The conflict is significant not only for the parties involved but also for regional and global geopolitical dynamics.
