The events listed above led to the Israel-Palestine conflict currently going on by shaping the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East and laying the foundation for the establishment of the state of Israel.
1. World World 2 and the Holocaust heightened international sympathy for the Jewish people and their desire for a homeland, leading to increased support for Zionism.
2. The Balfour Declaration of 1917 expressed British support for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine, further solidifying the Zionist movement.
3. The League of Nations created Mandates to partition the Middle East, leading to the establishment of British Mandate Palestine and increasing tensions between Jewish and Arab populations.
4. The creation of the Arab League in 1945 united Arab states in opposition to the establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine.
5. The Zionist Movement, which aimed to establish a Jewish state in Palestine, gained momentum and eventually led to the creation of the state of Israel in 1948.
6. The Suez Canal Crisis of 1956 heightened tensions between Israel and neighboring Arab states, leading to further conflict.
7. The Six-Day War of 1967 resulted in Israel gaining control of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip, further exacerbating tensions between Israelis and Palestinians.
8. The Yom Kippur War of 1973 further increased hostilities between Israel and Arab states, leading to continued conflict in the region.
9. The Egypt-Israel peace treaty of 1979 marked a significant development in Arab-Israeli relations, but also led to the marginalization of Palestinian interests in regional peace negotiations.
10. The Oslo Accords of 1993 aimed to establish a framework for Palestinian self-governance and Israeli-Palestinian peace, but ultimately failed to resolve core issues leading to ongoing conflict in the region today.
Overall, these events contributed to the complex historical, political, and territorial disputes between Israelis and Palestinians, leading to the current Israel-Palestine War.
