Detailed explanation-1: -What is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict about? The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is rooted in a century-long territorial dispute over the Holy Land, a Middle Eastern region with great religious and historical significance to Christians, Jews, and Muslims.
Detailed explanation-2: -To summarise, having analysed Zionism, Arab nationalism and British foreign policy as three key causes of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, as well as three major consequences of the war, this essay can conclude that the 1948 Arab-Israeli war was a highly complex conflict with its origins going as far back as biblical times.
Detailed explanation-3: -The dispute arose from the CONFLICTING CLAIMS TO THE LAND. The land that the Jewish people considered their ancestral homeland and sought to reestablish as a Jewish state was also regarded as historically belonging to the Palestinians by the Arabs.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Israel, the war is remembered as its War of Independence. In the Arab world, it came to be known as the Nakbah (or Nakba; “Catastrophe”) because of the large number of refugees and displaced persons resulting from the war.
