    The conflict between Israel and Palestine stems from competing claims over the region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. After World War I, the British gained control over Palestine and encouraged Jewish settlement as part of the Zionist movement, fueling tensions with the Arab population. Violence escalated after Israel declared statehood in 1948 and captured more territory in the 1967 Six-Day War, and uprisings known as intifadas broke out in response to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the late 20th century. Disputes over issues like borders, settlements, and the status of Jerusalem continue to this day.

    Palestine and Israel Conflict

    The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians stems from one of the longest and most

    explosive conflicts in the world

    England and France tried to fill the place that was discharged from the Ottoman Empire in the

    Middle East after the First World War. World War I also brought about a new political change.

    One of these changes was the Jewish factor. The settlement of the Jews in Palestine attracted

    Arab reaction. In the First World War, the Arabs fought against the Turks and in return they had

    promised independence from the British. However, the United Kingdom approached the riots in

    the region frequently. During this period, the Arab leadership of the state was Egypt.

    At the end of the nineteenth century, Jews began to establish a state. The establishment of a state

    on promised land was first seen with the help of England. In 1848, the British government issued

    a circular to consul in Palestine under the auspices of the Jews. In 1870, the center of Jewish

    activities moved from England to Russia. Theodor Herzl, who headed the Zionist movements,

    made many efforts to establish a Jewish state in Palestine.

    The historical tension between Israel and Palestine goes back to the claim in the region

    between the Mediterranean coast and the Jordan River. At the First Congress of Zionism in 1897,

    this claim evolved into the idea of establishing a state in that region. Already before 1897, a

    significant number of Zionist immigrants had already arrived. The aim was to develop a wave of

    Zionist immigration to the region and to attempt nationalization. During the First World War,

    Palestine and its environs were under Ottoman rule. Later, Palestine came under the auspices of

    England. Hundreds of thousands of Jews emigrated to Palestine under the British mandate as part
    of the Zionist project. This led to anger and rebellion in Arab communities. A British census in

    1922 showed that the number of Jews reached 11 percent of the 750,000 population in Palestine.

    In the next 15 years, another 300,000 Jews would come. Britain, which has ruled Palestine since

    1920, handed over its responsibility to solve the Zionist-Arab problem to the United Nations in

    1947. The region was shaken by violence. On May 15, 1948, Britain announced its intention to

    end the mandate administration in Palestine. This brought about the establishment of Israel. The

    State of Israel was the first Jewish state established in 2000 years. It was announced in Tel Aviv

    on May 14, 1948 at 16:00. The decision came into force the next day when the last British troops

    left the region. Palestinians call May 15 "Al Nakba", which means "Disaster". The growing

    tension between Israel and its Arab neighbors led to the 6-Day War, which began on June 5,

    1967. The face of the Middle East conflict changed in these six days. The intifada against the

    Israeli occupation, the mass uprising, began in the Gaza Strip; soon spread to the West Bank.

    Conflicts continued until the 2000s. The Israeli government's gaze on the Masjid al-Aqsa led to

    protests. The demonstrations grew and became the second intifada. Last year, Palestine stood up

    after Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and announced that the embassy would

    move to Jerusalem. The third intifada was announced.
