This is the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that goes back to several decades of territorial disputes, political tensions, and cultural divides that have caused grave losses for the Palestinians in the form of displacement, economic loss, and losses in casualties. However, the Israelis still work towards achieving their security goals and establishing their territorial claims. Main issues are settlement expansion in West Bank and blockades on Gaza that have worsened the situation. Although the peace process, as embodied in the Oslo Accords, has been partially successful, issues such as the status of Jerusalem and Palestinian refugees remain unresolved. International involvement and recent events, such as the Abraham Accords and continued violence, further represent the multifaceted, changing face of this long-standing conflict.
