History of Israel and Palestine
Israel the world's only Jewish state located east of the Mediterranean Sea and Palestine the territory of the Arab population that hails from the Israel-controlled land have long been known for their enduring conflict with the Israeli occupation of the west bank and the Gaza. Strip the tension between Israel and Palestine has been deteriorating in years climaxing with many violent clashes between the two sides to understand the root of the Israel-Palestine conflict. We have to look back a few thousand years ago early history of Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the 17th centuries by following the call of god three patriarchs of the Jewish people Abraham Isaac and Jacob settled in Kanaan a region approximating present-day Israel the west bank and the Gaza, strip parts of Lebanon Syria and Jordan the region later had the name the land of Israel the promised land the Palestine region or the holy land in 1000 by king Saul established the Israelite monarchy which then was ruled by king David, who made Jerusalem the capital of his kingdom and his son king Solomon who built the first temple in Jerusalem. After the death of king Solomon the united monarchy was split into the kingdom of Israel in the north with Samaria as the capital and the kingdom of Judah in the south with Jerusalem as the capital the land became home to a majority of Jews but then it was subject to numerous conquests of various groups leading to the significant decrease of the Jewish population on the land one of these conquests was conducted by the roman empire who gave the name Palestine to Judah intending to break the Jewish connection with the land of Israel. During this time Christianity which started as a Jewish sect ultimately became a dominant religion toward the end of the roman empire in the 7th century came an Arab conquest beginning the spread of Islam the dome of the rock was built on the ruin of the second temple making Jerusalem the holy city to three monotheistic religions Judaism Christianity and Islam after Christians in Jerusalem were intensely persecuted by the saluki Turks a central Asian empire with ambition to expand its territory Christians in Europe launched several crusades to bring the holy city back to the hand of the Christians during this time many Jews were killed others were making pilgrimages everywhere mostly in western Europe from the 16th century to world war 1 the holy land along with much of the middle east was ruled by the ottoman empire an Islamic superpower the land was unofficially called Palestine at the same time in Europe more and more Jews were joining a movement called Zionism aiming to create a Jewish national state in its ancient homeland hence in the first decade of the 20th century tens of thousands of Jews moved from Europe back to the region Israel and Palestine under the British rule world war 1 exploded and ended with the collapse of the ottoman empire its land in the middle east was carved by the British and French empires the British then gave more independence for Iraq and Jordan and the region remaining under the control of Britain was what it called the British mandate for Palestine where Britain promised to establish a Jewish national homeland under its Belfour declaration which went into effect in 1923. tensions between the Jews and the Arabs who both claimed the land grew which even led to acts of violence by the 1930s following the increasing Jewish population in Palestine due to the fear of persecution during the Nazi reign in Germany the British limited Jewish immigration in response the Jewish militias formed to both fight the Arabs and resist the British rule then came the holocaust throughout Nazi Germany which claimed almost 6 million Jewish lives after the war more and more Jews then fled from Europe to Palestine to seek a homeland escalating the tension with the Arabs overwhelmed by the situation Britain began to withdraw from the region the birth of the Israel state after world war ii the urn proposed a plan to partition Palestine into two independent states a Jewish state and an Arab state with the city of Jerusalem becoming an international zone with a special status however the plan according to which the Jewish accounting for only one-third of the population was granted more territory 56.5 of the land was rejected by the Arabs they began to form volunteer armies throughout Palestine less than one year after that as Britain completed its withdrawal from Palestine Israel declared itself an independent state marking a new bloodier chapter in the struggle between the Jews and the Palestinian Arabs the 1948 Arab Israeli war right after the announcement of an independent Israel a war between the Arabs and the Jews broke out which was known as the 1948 Arab Israeli war the war involved five recently independent Arab nations Egypt Jordan Iraq Syria and Lebanon the Arab league who invaded the region in an attempt to establish a unified Arab Palestine however a ceasefire agreement was reached a year later in which more than two-thirds of historic Palestine including the west Jerusalem belonged to Israel while Jordan occupied east Jerusalem and the area known as the west bank and Egypt occupied the Gaza strip as a result more than 750 000 Palestinians were expelled from the land where they lived for centuries on the day that they call al-nakfa or the catastrophe with the deteriorated dispute

and their descendants were not allowed to return to their homes but had to live in Gaza the west bank in neighboring Jordan Syria and Lebanon the first intifada and the Oslo accords the rising number of Israelis settling in the Palestinian territories in the west bank and Gaza gave rise to the plot the Palestinian liberation organization first founded in Cairo Egypt in 1964 to create a liberated Palestine in Israel the plot launched attacks on Israel from its base in Jordan it was then forced to move from Jordan to Lebanon starting to carry out acts of terrorism against Israel fighting went on for years including the Israeli invasion of Lebanon to kick the plot out of Beirut the plot eventually agreed to divide the land between Palestine and Israel but there were still more and more Jewish settlers moved into the Israel-occupied Palestinian territories in 1987 a violent Palestinian uprising was ignited starting from the jambalaya refugee camp after an Israeli defense forces truck
