Israel-Palestine conflict dates back long time back in the history. In this article, I have written completely about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

History:-

The region between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea was part of the Turkish empire till the World War I. When the Turkish empire lost the war the British decided to divide the Turk empire and the region between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea was taken over by the British in 1920 to rule. It remained under British rule till 1948. During these years the Arabs( Palestinians) and the Jews(Israeli) stayed together but time to time conflicts arose between them over Jerusalem and other matters; killing hundreds of Arabs and Jews.

Division of Palestine into Israel and Palestine:-

In 1948, the UN divided the then governed region between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea into two parts.

- Palestine :-
