Description:
Why can’t Israel and Palestine get along?
It all started in 1947 when the UN proposed a split of the British Mandate into a Jewish and an Arab state. Israel accepted. The Arab side rejected. War followed.
As the conflict escalated, Israel gained more land—millions of Palestinians were displaced. By 1967, Israel seized Gaza, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights. These regions are now referred to as the Occupied Territories.
Tensions only worsened. Hamas emerged in the late 1980s.
Despite withdrawing from Gaza in 2005, Israel continues to control the West Bank. Today, nearly 6 million Palestinians live in these regions under deep frustration and uncertainty.
This is why peace remains elusive.

Israel and Palestine will never get along! And here’s why:
In 1947, the United Nations proposed the British Mandate, which meant that Palestine should be split into a Jewish State and an Arab State. The Jewish side accepted and Israel was formed, but Arab side rejected the proposal and the war break out in the region. As the war progressed, Israel took even more territory and millions of Palestinians were forced to leave their land. At the end of the war Israel occupied most of the territory except Gaza, West Bank and Golan Heights.
The tensions remained high and in 1967 Israel ceased all these 3 territories. This is what is now called the “Occupied territory”. In the late 1980s the group Hamas was formed as frustration in Gaza was at its highest.
Although Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, it continues to occupy the West Bank.
There are almost 6 million Palestinians in Gaza and West bank which will never agree to be controlled by Israel, this being the reason why they will continue to fight, making a possible peace in the region to look extremely improbable.
