The Israeli-Palestinian conflict

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians over land, national identity, and governance in the region historically known as Palestine. It intensified in the 20th century, particularly after the establishment of Israel in 1948, which Palestinians view as a displacement. Key issues include borders, the status of Jerusalem, security, refugees, and mutual recognition. Both groups have deep historical and cultural ties to the land, leading to ongoing violence, failed peace efforts, and complex political dynamics. The conflict is deeply rooted in historical grievances and competing national aspirations.
