What is the history of the Israel and Palestine conflict?
Can you tell me about the history of the Israel and Palestine conflict?
The Israel and Palestine conflict dates back to the early 20th century when Jews began moving back to Palestine, which was under Ottoman and later British rule. As more Jews arrived, tensions grew between them and the Arab population over control of the land. Following the end of British rule in 1948, Israel declared its independence and a war broke out with Arab forces. The conflict has continued ever since with periods of violence and attempts at peace negotiations.
