Israeli Independence

Israeli Independence refers to the establishment of the State of Israel on May 14, 1948, when Jewish leaders declared a sovereign nation in the historic land of Palestine, following the end of British rule. This event was the culmination of the Zionist movement seeking a homeland for Jews after centuries of persecution and the atrocities of the Holocaust. The declaration led to conflict with Arab neighbors, who opposed the new state, resulting in ongoing regional tensions and wars. Israeli independence symbolizes the realization of a Jewish national homeland, reflecting historical, cultural, and religious connections to the land.
