Explanation:

Israel is the world’s only Jewish nation, located just east of the Mediterranean Sea. Palestinians, the Arab population that desires the land Israel now controls, refer to the territory as Palestine, and want to establish a state by that name on all or part of the same land. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is over who obtains what land and how it’s controlled.

Though both Jews and Arab Muslims date their claims to the land back a couple thousand years, the current political conflict began in the early 20th century. Jews scaping persecution in Europe wanted to set up a national homeland in what was then an Arab- and Muslim-majority territory in the Ottoman and later British Empire. The Arabs opposed, seeing the land as properly theirs. An early United Nations plan to give each group part of the land failed, and Israel and the surrounding Arab nations had several wars over the territory. Today’s lines largely reflect the outcomes of two of these wars, one waged in 1948 and another in 1967

Today, the West Bank is nominally controlled by the Palestinian Authority and is under Israeli occupation. This comes in the form of Israeli troops, who enforce Israeli security restrictions on Palestinian movement and activities, and Israeli “settlers,” Jews who build ever-expanding communities in the West Bank that effectively deny the land to Palestinians. Gaza is controlled by Hamas, an Islamist fundamentalist party, and is under Israeli blockade but not ground troop occupation.

The first approach to solving the conflict today is a so-called “two-state solution” that would establish Palestine as an independent state in Gaza and most of the West Bank, leaving the rest of the land to Israel. Though the two-state plan is clear in theory, the two sides are still deeply divided over how to make it work in practice.

The choice to a two-state solution is a “one-state solution,” wherein all of the land becomes either one big Israel or one big Palestine. Most spectators think this would cause more trouble than it would solve, but this outcome is becoming more likely over time for political and demographic reasons.
