Influencing factors of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict:

Palestine

According to the United Nations’ resolution on the partition of Palestine in November 1947 Resolution 181 stipulates the establishment of an Arab state and a Jewish state in Palestine. The Jews agreed to the resolution and established the "State of Israel", while the Arab countries objected that the resolution did not establish an Arab state within the specified area. Since then, many wars have occurred between the Arab League countries and Israel.

Jerusalem

Jerusalem includes the old and new cities. Judaism, Christianity and Islam all respect the old city as the "Holy City".

Occupied territories

In the Middle East war, Israel successively occupied the West Bank, Jerusalem, Egypt, Syria and other countries, and built settlements in places with sufficient water sources and fertile soil. .

Water source issues

There are no big rivers in Israel. There is more rainfall in the north and a large desert in the south. With population growth and rapid economic development, water shortage problems have become increasingly prominent. In order to solve the water shortage, Israel intercepted the water of the Jordan River and its direct rivers through the Golan Heights and the West Bank, and pumped large amounts of groundwater in the occupied lands.

Popular Pressure

After the Israeli army’s air strikes in the Palestinian Gaza Strip caused heavy casualties, how will the conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Palestinian Gaza Strip develop next? Although it is still difficult to predict whether the Israeli army will launch a large-scale ground operation in Gaza, there are various indications that both the Israeli government and Hamas are facing tremendous pressure to compromise with each other and avoid a ground war, and only mutual compromise can resolve the conflict. Peace returned to the area.

"Forever turning the dark page of division"

In order to break the unprecedented isolation and economic difficulties that Palestine has encountered since the Hamas-led autonomous government came to power, Abbas and Hani dialogue with other Hamas leaders in order to get them to change their hardline stance. Although the two factions have reached some peace agreements with the help of Arab countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Jordan, they have not changed their different political philosophies.

Leading members of both parties still hold different opinions, and their relationship seems to be divergent. What is particularly worth mentioning is that the fundamental positions of the two sides are still far apart. In addition, the struggle for power between the two factions has become increasingly fierce, and the ministers of both parties are in serious opposition, and their grudges are getting deeper and deeper. As soon as the Hamas government was established, it fell into a situation where it existed in name only.
