The term “Conflit à Gaza” refers to the ongoing and complex political and military conflict in the Gaza Strip, a territory located along the Mediterranean coast. This conflict primarily involves Israel and Palestinian factions, chiefly Hamas, which governs Gaza. The roots of the conflict can be traced back to historical, territorial, and socio-political tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.
The conflict has been marked by periodic escalations of violence, including military operations, rocket fire, and airstrikes, leading to significant humanitarian crises, loss of life, and widespread destruction. Central issues include disputes over land, recognition of statehood, security concerns, and the rights of refugees. The situation is further complicated by regional and international influences, peace negotiations, and differing narratives about historical grievances and future aspirations.
The term encapsulates not just the military confrontations but also the broader socio-economic and humanitarian challenges faced by the population in Gaza, alongside the political implications for peace in the region. The conflict remains one of the most enduring and contentious issues in modern geopolitics.
