History of the Conflict
The conflict between Israel and Palestine originated from the displacement of Jewish communities thousands of years ago and the subsequent persecution of Jews in Europe. The Zionist movement emerged in the late 19th century, calling for a Jewish nationalist state. The Balfour Declaration in 1917 expressed support for a Jewish homeland in Palestine. After World War II and the Holocaust, Jewish migration to Palestine increased. In 1947, the UN proposed a partition plan, creating separate Jewish and Arab states. Israel declared independence in 1948, leading to the Arab-Israeli War. Israel emerged victorious, resulting in the displacement of Palestinians in what they refer to as the Nakba. In the following years, Israel occupied significant territories, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, and the Golan Heights, triggering further tensions. The Six-Day War in 1967 resulted in Israel occupying more territories. In 1973, Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel, leading to the Yom Kippur War. In 1978, the Camp David Accords facilitated peace between Israel and Egypt. Secret negotiations in Oslo resulted in agreements in 1993, establishing the Palestinian Authority and a framework for future relations. The first intifada in 1987 aimed to raise awareness and pressure Israel to withdraw. The second intifada in 2000 escalated violence and occupation. In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip, and Hamas gained power. Offensives occurred in the late 2000s to weaken Hamas. In recent years, diplomatic efforts aimed for peace, with the Abraham Accords signed in 2020. The recent conflict was sparked by Hamas' attacks, as they sought to prevent increased tensions between Arab nations and Israel. The cycle of violence persists with no resolution in sight.
