The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict is an ongoing dispute in the region widely known as Israel-Palestine. Two important points of the conflict are its status as a single state or two sovereign states and the location of the borders. Although the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict officially began with the establishment of Israel as a state in the late 1940s, the roots of the tension extend further back to World Wars I and II or, by some accounts, even earlier.
