A brief description of the causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict

The causes of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict are briefly described as follows:

1. Land and territorial issues: One of the core disputes in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is land and territory. At the beginning of the 20th century, Jews began to immigrate to Palestine, triggering competition with Palestinian Arabs. Both sides claim sovereignty over specific territories, making issues of land distribution and occupation a focus of the conflict.

2. Religious conflicts: The Palestinian-Israeli conflict also has religious factors. The Palestinian region includes Jerusalem, one of the holiest sites in Judaism, Christianity and Islam. These religions have important historical and religious significance to the region, so issues of control and management are at the center of controversy. The conflict intensified as Judaism and Islam clashed over their claims to Jerusalem.

3. Political competition: The political aspect of the conflict mainly involves the establishment of a state and autonomous institutions between Palestine and Israel. The parallel development of the Palestinian nationalist and Zionist movements led to a conflict between the demands for a Palestinian state and the establishment of an Israeli state. The two sides fought for political dominance for a long time and engaged in violent conflicts.
