Palestine-Israel conflict

The Palestine-Israel conflict is a long-standing dispute over land and national identity in the Middle East. It began in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as Jewish people sought to establish a homeland in response to persecution, while Arab residents opposed this and sought their own national rights. Key issues include territorial claims, the status of Jerusalem, security, and the rights of Palestinian refugees. Violence and wars have occurred, and numerous attempts at peace have failed. The conflict remains deeply complex, involving historical grievances, religious significance, and geopolitical factors.
