Exploring the Roots of the Israel-Palestine Conflict

The Israel-Palestine conflict, often misunderstood as ancient, began in the early 1900s. It involves territorial claims by Jews and Arabs, influenced by Zionism and the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The British Mandate and UN partition plan led to the creation of Israel, sparking wars and displacements. The Arab-Israeli conflict evolved into an Israeli-Palestinian struggle, marked by wars, settlements, and peace attempts like the Oslo Accords. Despite efforts, the conflict persists, with ongoing tensions in Gaza and the West Bank, and uncertain prospects for peace.
