History of Israel-Palestine Conflict
(A brief overview)
The history of Israel-Palestine Conflict dates back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with roots in the Zionist movement seeking a Jewish homeland in historic Palestine and the indigenous Palestinian Arab population's resistance to this.
Key events include the Balfour Declaration in 1917, the partition plan proposed by the United Nations in 1947, the Arab-Israeli wars, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and subsequent wars, including the Six-Day War in 1967 and the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
The conflict involves territorial disputes, the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements in the West Bank, security concerns, and competing national narratives. Numerous attempts at peace negotiations have been made, including the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, but a lasting resolution remains elusive.
