    INTRODUCTION
    The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed tens of thousands of lives and
    displaced many millions of people and has its roots in a colonial act
    carried out more than a century ago.
    With Israel declaring war on the Gaza Strip after an unprecedented attack
    by the armed Palestinian group Hamas on Saturday, the world’s eyes are
    again sharply focused on what might come next. The conflict pits Israeli
    demands for security in what it has long regarded as a hostile region
    against Palestinian aspirations for a state of their own.
    In the war that followed, some 700,000 Palestinians, half the Arab
    population of what British-ruled Palestine was, fled or were driven from
    their homes, ending up in Jordan, Lebanon and Syria as well as in Gaza,
    the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

    HISTORICAL CONTEXT

    Israel's founding father David Ben-Gurion proclaimed the modern State


    of Israel on May 14, 1948, establishing a safe place for Jews fleeing
    persecution and seeking a national home on land to which they cite deep
    ties over generations. Palestinians lament Israel's creation as the Nakba, or
    catastrophe, that resulted in their dispossession and blocked their dreams
    of statehood. According to historians and experts, it is impossible to
    pinpoint one specific reason why peace talks between Israel and Palestine
    continue to fail. But tensions in the region go back thousands of years.
    The region is the birth of the main Abrahamic religions like Judaism,
    Christianity, and Islam. But I would say the conflict we're experiencing
    now is very much a conflict over international law and human rights.
    when we think about this conflict, it goes back 1000s of years as a conflict
    over religion."
    COUNTRIES INVOLVED

    The countries that are in support of Israel are, The US, The UK,
    Australia, France, Norway, Austria, Germany, India, Canada, Poland. The
    countries that are not in the Favor of Israel are, Iran, Qatar, Turkey,
    Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, Arab League, Jordan

    ISRAEL- PALESTINIAN ISSUES

    A two-state solution, Israeli settlements, the status of Jerusalem, and


    refugees are at the core of the dispute. an agreement that would create a
    state for the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip alongside
    Israel. Hamas rejects the two-state solution and is sworn to Israel's
    destruction. Israel has said a Palestinian state must be demilitarized so as
    not to threaten Israel. Most countries deem Jewish settlements built on
    land Israel occupied in 1967 as illegal. Israel disputes this and cites
    historical and Biblical ties to the land.
    Their continued expansion is among the most contentious issues between
    Israel, the Palestinians and the international community. Today about 5.6
    million Palestinian refugees - mainly descendants of those who fled in
    1948 live in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, the Israeli-occupied West Bank and
    Gaza.
    About half of registered refugees remain stateless, according to the
    Palestinian foreign ministry, many living in crowded camps. Palestinians
    have long demanded that refugees should be allowed to return, along with
    millions of their descendants. Israel says any resettlement of Palestinian
    refugees must occur outside of its borders.
    PEACE PROCESS

    In 1979, Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, ending 30 years of


    hostility. In 1993, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Arafat shook
    hands on the Oslo Accords on limited Palestinian autonomy. In 1994,
    Israel signed a peace treaty with Jordan.
    The Camp David summit of 2000 saw President Bill Clinton, Israeli
    Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Arafat fail to reach a final peace deal.
    In 2002, an Arab plan offered Israel normal ties with all Arab countries in
    return for a full withdrawal from the lands it took in the 1967 Middle
    East war, creation of a Palestinian state and a "just solution" for
    Palestinian refugees.
    Peace efforts have been stalled since 2014, when talks failed between
    Israelis and Palestinians in Washington.

    CURRENT PEACE EFFORTS

    The administration of U.S. President Joe Biden has focused on trying to


    secure a "grand bargain" in the Middle East that includes normalization of
    relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia, custodian of Islam's two holiest
    shrines.
    The latest war is diplomatically awkward for Riyadh as well as for other
    Arab states, including some Gulf Arab states next to Saudi Arabia, that
    have signed peace deals with Israel.
    CONCLUSION

    Israeli conflict have been elaborated upon by several initiatives. The


    Conclusion looks at these initiatives and towards the future. Each
    initiative has strengthened the regional and international consensus
    supporting a two-state nation. Finally, in November 2012, the United
    Nations General Assembly recognized a Palestinian state. In the absence
    of a two-state solution, One scenario could be a shared homeland. The
    other could be the conclusion that Jewish history has been traumatic
    Israelis to accept being a minority but recognizes that the Palestinian Arab
    population is growing more rapidly than the Jewish Israeli one.
