Essays on Israeli Palestinian Conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most complex and intractable issues in world politics. It has been an ongoing struggle for over 70 years, with roots that are deeply ingrained in religious, cultural, political and economic factors. The primary source of contention between Israelis and Palestinians is control of land ” specifically the Palestinian territories occupied by Israel since 1967.
