Understanding the Israel-Palestine Conflict: From History to Horrors

The Israel-Palestine conflict, one of the world's longest-running conflicts, has its roots in the Balfour Declaration of 1917, which promised a national home for the Jewish people in Palestine. The conflict escalated with the Arab Revolt in the 1930s, the UN partition plan in 1947, and the ethnic cleansing of Palestine in 1948. Subsequent events include the Naksa (Six-Day War), the first and second Intifadas, the formation of the Palestinian Authority, and the wars on the Gaza Strip. The conflict has resulted in the displacement of millions of people and numerous casualties, with ongoing tensions and violence.
