A wave of attacks by Palestinian militants on Israel, and Israel’s declaration of war against Hamas, has brought new attention to an old problem.
A surprise, coordinated assault on Israel by Palestinian militants — one of the deadliest and most brazen attack in years — brought renewed attention to an old and continuing problem: the Israeli-Palestinian
Both Israelis and Palestinians were struggling for self-determination and sovereignty over the territory, developing respective movements for their causes. In 1917, Britain’s then-foreign secretary, Lord Arthur Balfour, expressed his government’s support for “the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people,”To Israelis, the missive marked a formal utterance of the Israeli state’s right to exist; to Palestinians, it was an early sign of their dispossession.
Israel declares independence in May 1948. The next day, a coalition of Arab states, allied with Palestinian factions, attack Israeli forces in what becomes the first of several Arab-Israeli wars. In the end, Israel gains control of an even larger portion of territory — not including the areas of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. An estimated 700,000 Palestinians flee or are driven from their land in what Palestinians refer to as the “Nakba,” or “catastrophe” in Arabic.
The Palestinian militant group Hamas wins elections in Gaza, leading to political strains with the more moderate Fatah party controlling the West Bank.on the small, overcrowded Palestinian enclave that’s home to 2 million Palestinians. Limiting the mobility of goods and people in and out of the territory, Israel has deepened Gaza’s humanitarian crisis, the U.N.
Hundreds of Israeli settlers then rampage through Palestinian villages, torching homes and cars, and shooting at residents, according to local officials. Israel also carries out its first drone strike in the West Bank since 2006, killing three suspected militants.
