Israeli-Palestinian relations refer to the complex and often contentious interactions between the state of Israel and the Palestinian people. This relationship has been shaped by historical events, territorial disputes, and differing national aspirations. The core issues include the status of Jerusalem, borders, security, and the rights of Palestinian refugees. Efforts to resolve the conflict have included various peace processes, such as the Oslo Accords in the 1990s, which aimed to establish a framework for peace. Despite these efforts, tensions remain high, with periodic violence and ongoing disputes over land and resources affecting daily life for both Israelis and Palestinians.
