Middle East conflict
The Middle East conflict primarily involves Israel and Palestine, rooted in disputes over land, national identity, and sovereignty. After Israel's founding in 1948, tensions grew over borders, refugees, and political control. The conflict includes wars, uprisings (Intifadas), and peace efforts, with broader regional and religious dimensions involving neighboring Arab countries and other groups. Core issues include the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees’ rights, security concerns, and mutual recognition. The ongoing struggle reflects deep historical, political, and cultural feelings, making a lasting resolution complex and challenging.
