1. The establishment of Israel and the war that followed and preceded it led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians who became refugees, sparking a decades-long conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people.[5] The Palestinians seek to establish their independent state in at least one part of historic Palestine. Israeli defense of its borders, control over the West Bank, the Egyptian-Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip, and Palestinian internal politics currently make the Palestinians’ goal out of reach.
  2. Peace negotiations have occurred over the years, but a long-term peace agreement has not been reached. The conflict has been marked by violence, including terrorist attacks by Palestinian militants and military operations by Israel. The United States and other countries have played a key role in attempting to broker peace. Still, numerous obstacles remain, including Israeli settlements in the West Bank, the status of Jerusalem, and the ultimate fate of Palestinian refugees. from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
 
  1. World War I and aftermath (1917–20)
  • Because of a mutual defense treaty that the Ottoman Empire made with Germany during World War I, the Ottoman Empire joined the Central Powers as opposed to Great Britain and France. The possibility of releasing Palestine from the control of the Ottoman Empire led the new Jewish population and the Arab population in Palestine to support the alignment of the United Kingdom, France, and Russia during World War I. In 1915, the McMahon-Hussein Correspondence was formed as an agreement with Arab leaders to grant sovereignty to Arab lands under Ottoman control to create an Arab state for the Great Arab Revolt against the Ottomans. However, the Balfour Declaration in 1917 proposed to “favor the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, but that nothing should be done to prejudice the civil and religious rights of the existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine.” In 1916, the Anglo-French Sykes-Picot Agreement allocated to the British Empire the area of present-day JordanIsrael, the Palestinian territories, and present-day Iraq. Jewish nationalists saw the Balfour Declaration as the cornerstone of a future Jewish homeland on both sides of the Jordan River. Still, it increased the concerns of the Arab population in the Palestine region.
In 1917, the British defeated the Ottoman Turkish forces and occupied the Palestine region. The land remained under British military administration for the rest of the war. On January 3, 1919, Chaim Weizmann, the future president of the World Zionist Organization, and King Faisal I of Iraq signed the Faisal-Weizmann Agreement. In it, Faisal provisionally accepted the Balfour Declaration conditional on British wartime promises of Palestine’s inclusion in Arab independence.
