Arab-Israeli Conflict
The Arab-Israeli Conflict refers to the ongoing struggle between Israel and various Arab nations and Palestinian groups over land and political rights. It began in the early 20th century, primarily due to the rise of Zionism, which sought to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, a region also claimed by Arab populations. Tensions escalated after the establishment of Israel in 1948, leading to several wars and ongoing disputes.
Key issues in the conflict include the status of Jerusalem, the borders of Israel, and the rights of Palestinian refugees. Various peace efforts have been made, but a lasting resolution remains elusive, with both sides holding deep-seated grievances and aspirations.
