The Israel-Palestine conflict is one of the world’s most complex and long-standing disputes. It traces back to the late 1800s with the rise of Zionism and Arab nationalism. In 1917, Britain issued the Balfour Declaration supporting a Jewish homeland in Palestine, then under Ottoman rule. After World War I, the British Mandate took control, and Jewish immigration increased, causing tensions with Palestinian Arabs. In 1947, the UN proposed a two-state solution, but violence broke out. In 1948, Israel declared independence, leading to war and mass displacement of Palestinians—known as the Nakba.
Further wars in 1967 and 1973 reshaped the region, with Israel occupying the West Bank and Gaza. The Oslo Accords in the 1990s gave hope for peace but collapsed amid continued violence and political divisions. Gaza has been under blockade since 2007, after Hamas took control, leading to repeated conflicts with Israel. Today, despite global attention and peace efforts, the region remains deeply divided. This timeline reflects not just historical milestones but ongoing struggles over identity, land, and justice.
