The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing dispute over territory that dates back to the late 19th century. The roots of the conflict can be traced to the rise of national movements, including Zionism and Arab nationalism, and the international communitys decision to establish a "national home" in Palestine for Jewish people. The conflict has been marked by violence, displacement, and a struggle for self-determination by both Israelis and Palestinians.

Here is a brief timeline of the conflict:

• Late 19th century: Zionists seek to establish a homeland for the Jewish people in Ottoman-controlled Palestine.
• 1947: The United Nations adopts Resolution 181, known as the Partition Plan, which sought to divide the British Mandate of Palestine into Arab and Jewish states.
• May 14, 1948: The State of Israel is created, sparking the first Arab-Israeli War.
• 1948-1949: The war ends with Israels victory, but 750,000 Palestinians are displaced, and the territory is divided into three parts: the State of Israel, the West Bank (of the Jordan River), and the Gaza Strip.
• 1967: Israel captures the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip in the Six-Day War.
• 1993: An agreement between Israel and representatives of the Palestinian people seeks to establish a Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, but the process has not been completed.

The conflict has been marked by violence, including terrorist attacks, military operations, and clashes between Israelis and Palestinians. The Palestinians seek to establish their own independent state in at least a part of historic Palestine, while Israel seeks to maintain its security and sovereignty. The conflict remains unresolved, and efforts to find a lasting peace have been ongoing for decades.
