Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is rooted in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when nationalist movements among Jews and Arabs emerged in the Middle East. After the establishment of Israel in 1948, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced, leading to ongoing territorial and political disputes. Key issues include borders, the status of Jerusalem, security, and the rights of Palestinian refugees. Efforts to achieve peace have been undermined by violence, disagreements, and diverging national identities. The conflict is a significant factor in Middle Eastern politics, influencing regional and global relations.
