Israel-Palestine Conflict

A Factbook

The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the most enduring and contentious disputes in modern history, rooted in a complex web of historical, religious, and political factors. Dating back over a century, the conflict revolves around competing claims to territory, sovereignty, and identity between Israelis and Palestinians. From the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948 to the ongoing occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, the conflict has been marked by cycles of violence, negotiations, and failed peace efforts. The status of Jerusalem, the fate of Palestinian refugees, and the expansion of Israeli settlements are among the key issues at the heart of the conflict. Despite decades of diplomatic efforts and international interventions, a lasting solution remains elusive, with both sides deeply entrenched in their positions and narratives.
