Historical Context of the Israel-Gaza Conflict
The Israel-Gaza conflict stems from the complex situation in the region, with Gaza being part of the Palestinian occupied territories. The two-state solution, which aimed to achieve stability by giving Palestinians some ability to govern themselves, has lost traction. Israel has been pursuing diplomatic relations with other countries, such as the UAE and Bahrain, irrespective of resolving the Palestinian problem. Meanwhile, the Palestinian population in Gaza suffers from poverty and lacks resources and statehood. The Palestinians have become an afterthought for Israel, which has focused more on its domestic issues and expanding settlements. This backdrop has contributed to the current conflict.
