show more- Historical Background:
- The roots of the conflict can be traced back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries when Jewish Zionists began immigrating to Palestine with the goal of establishing a Jewish homeland.
- British Mandate Period (1917-1948):
- After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain a mandate to govern Palestine. During this period, tensions between Jewish and Arab communities increased as Jewish immigration grew.
- United Nations Partition Plan (1947):
- In 1947, the United Nations proposed a partition plan to divide Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. The plan was accepted by the Jewish leadership but rejected by Arab leaders.
- 1948 Arab-Israeli War (War of Independence):
- Following the declaration of the State of Israel in 1948, neighboring Arab countries launched a military intervention, leading to a conflict that resulted in Israel's expansion and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs.
- Arab-Israeli Wars (1956, 1967, 1973):
- Subsequent conflicts, including the Suez Crisis (1956), Six-Day War (1967), and Yom Kippur War (1973), further shaped the geopolitical landscape and resulted in Israel occupying territories in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, and Golan Heights.
- Palestinian Liberation Movement:
- Palestinian resistance groups, such as the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), emerged with the goal of achieving Palestinian self-determination and the establishment of an independent Palestinian state.
- Oslo Accords (1993):
- In the 1990s, secret negotiations led to the Oslo Accords, which created a framework for limited Palestinian self-governance in parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. However, the peace process stalled, leading to continued conflict.
- Second Intifada (2000-2005):
- A Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation, known as the Second Intifada, resulted in significant violence and casualties on both sides.
- Gaza Strip and West Bank:
- The Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas since 2007, and the West Bank, under varying degrees of Israeli control, have remained focal points of tension, settlement expansion, and clashes.
- Ongoing Disputes:
- Key issues include the status of Jerusalem, borders, the right of return for Palestinian refugees, Israeli settlements, and security concerns for both Israelis and Palestinians.
In this latest attack, Hamas has launched a barrage of over 5000 rockets as well as deploying units within Israel to strike at the nation from within. The israeli Military has already begun to respond, but the full scope of that response is still unknown.
