Detailed explanation-1: -The United Nations resolution sparked conflict between Jewish and Arab groups within Palestine. Fighting began with attacks by irregular bands of Palestinian Arabs attached to local units of the Arab Liberation Army composed of volunteers from Palestine and neighboring Arab countries.

Detailed explanation-2: -The first war (1948–49) began when Israel declared itself an independent state following the United Nations’ partition of Palestine. Protesting this move, five Arab countries-Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria-attacked Israel. The conflict ended with Israel gaining considerable territory.

Detailed explanation-3: -The roots of the modern Arab–Israeli conflict lie in the rise of Zionism and the reactionary Arab nationalism that arose in response to Zionism towards the end of the 19th century.

Detailed explanation-4: -However, the main reason behind the Suez Crisis was the Arab support for Palestinian attacks on Israel. By 1949 Israel had agreed to borders with neighboring Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt, but those were often the source of conflict.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is over who gets 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.
