Answer:</h3>
Origins of the Palestinian-Israeli Conflict
After World War II, the Ottoman Empire fell apart and became mandates. Modern-day Israel was controlled by England at the time. Originally, the British promised the land to the Islamic Palestinians. However, after the Balfour declaration, the land went to the Jewish Israelis. This angered the Palestinians and they began to fight for their land.
Fighting in Israel
The Palestinians were not the only ones that attempted to fight the Balfour declaration. Other Arabs joined the Palestinians. On the other hand, the zionists, people that believed in creating a homeland for the Jewish, joined the Israelis. The Arabs used Pan-Arabism to try and take their land back. This attempt focused on the Palestinians' ethnicity, not religion. However, later Muslim groups banded together and the fight became more focused on religion. Throughout the fighting the Israelis were backed by European nations, so they were able to win almost every battle.
Continued Fighting
The holy city of Jerusalem is located in land currently claimed by Israel. Jerusalem is extremely important to both Islam and Judaism. So, neither side is willing to give up the fight. This continues the fighting. Additionally, both sides want control of the coastline for the economic benefits that come from maritime trading.
