Middle East Conflict

The Middle East Conflict refers to a long-standing and complex geopolitical struggle primarily characterized by tensions between various states and groups in the Middle East, notably involving Israel and Palestine. This conflict encompasses a range of issues including territorial disputes, national identity, religious significance, and political power struggles. It has roots going back to the early 20th century, particularly around the establishment of Israel in 1948, which led to a series of wars, uprisings, and ongoing violence. Various peace efforts have been made, but a lasting resolution has been elusive, resulting in a protracted cycle of conflict, humanitarian crises, and international diplomatic challenges. The term also extends to broader regional dynamics involving neighboring countries and the interests of global powers.
