The creation of Israel in 1948 led to increased tensions and conflicts in the Middle East, as Arab countries viewed it as an infringement on their territory and a threat to their national security. The establishment of Israel also caused displacement and suffering for hundreds of thousands of Palestinian Arabs, leading to ongoing disputes and hostility in the region. The creation of Israel shifted alliances and power dynamics in the Middle East, with some countries forming alliances with Israel while others continued to oppose its existence. The ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to be a major source of tension and instability in the Middle East, influencing regional politics and relationships.
