Conflit israélo-palestinien

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict refers to the ongoing political and territorial dispute between Israelis and Palestinians. This conflict primarily centers on issues of national identity, territorial claims, and self-determination. The core of the conflict involves the competing claims to land in the area known historically as Palestine, which encompasses present-day Israel and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

The conflict has its roots in the late 19th and early 20th centuries with the rise of nationalism among both Jews and Arabs. The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, subsequent wars, and the ongoing occupation of Palestinian territories have fueled tensions. Key issues include borders, the status of Jerusalem, Palestinian refugees’ right of return, security concerns, and mutual recognition.

Attempts at peace negotiations, including various accords and proposals, have been made over the decades, but a lasting resolution has yet to be achieved. The conflict remains a central issue in Middle Eastern politics, deeply affecting the lives of both peoples and drawing international attention and involvement.
