The Israel-Palestine conflict is a long-standing dispute between the Jewish state of Israel and the Arab population of Palestine. It primarily revolves around issues of land, national identity, and political sovereignty. The conflict intensified in the mid-20th century, particularly after the establishment of Israel in 1948, which led to the displacement of many Palestinians. Key issues include the status of Jerusalem, borders, security, and the rights of Palestinian refugees. Various attempts at peace negotiations have been made, but a lasting resolution has yet to be achieved, resulting in ongoing tensions and violence in the region.
