Jakarta, CNN Indonesia –
Conflict between Israel and Palestine as if it is not easy to end just like that, considering that there are many sources of contention between the two that have occurred for a long time and similar incidents have recurred.
Later, it began to be enlivened regarding the reason Israel attacked Palestine because of the impact of its latest attacks which continued to become the international spotlight.
So how did the conflict between Israel and Palestine begin, which led to long tailings until it ended up attacking each other?
Reporting from various sources, the following is a summary of the series of Israeli-Palestinian conflicts recorded since the 19th century.
1. The Establishment of the State of Israel

The beginning of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was after the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. At that time, Palestinians objected and prevented the formation of the state of Israel until war broke out.
After the war ended, it turned out that Israel controlled most of the former British territory, including Jerusalem, while Egypt controlled Gaza.
Meanwhile, according to the United Nations (UN), half the Arab population of Palestine has been expelled and some have fled.
2. The Gaza Strip
The conflict was not over and heated up again in 1967 when Israel recaptured the Gaza Strip and the Sinai area to the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan.
The seizure of the area resulted in war and became the reason for Israel to attack Palestine again.
In the midst of the conditions of war, Israel had offered to return the territory in exchange for a number of rewards. Unfortunately, the offer was rejected.
3. Intifada Al-Aqsa

Israeli-Palestinian hostility escalated after the Al Aqsa intifada in September 2000, following the visit of the Israeli opposition leader to Al-Aqsa which sparked unrest.
Still in the 2000s, to be precise in 2008, there was another intifada or rebellion after Israel launched air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip.
Then in May 2010, Israel blocked all aid routes to Palestine and Israeli soldiers opened fire on the Mavi Marmara aid ship.
4. The Pro-Israel White House
Since US President Donald Trump entered the White House in 2017, his presence has been very pro-Israel.
In addition, Trump also acknowledged that Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. Even the US embassy in Tel Aviv was moved to Jerusalem.
Most recently, the current US President, Joe Biden, secretly agreed to sell weapons in the form of sophisticated bombs worth Rp10 trillion to Israel.
5. The Latest Tempest of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Still heating up until now, Israel is again attacking Palestine due to the seeds of the conflict that occurred in April 2021, after Israeli authorities sabotaged the speakers of the Al Aqsa mosque.
Reported Reuters, In May 2021, clashes occurred in the area of the Al-Aqsa mosque complex between Palestinian congregations and Israeli authorities, causing many injuries.
In addition, one thing that contributed to the conflict was the dispute in Sheikh Jarrah because a number of Palestinian families were threatened with being expelled by settlers from Israel.
The aftermath of the latest tempest between Israel and Palestine has continued, claiming many lives and destroying residences and hospitals.
A number of international support and condemnation highlighting the latest conflict between Israel and Palestine continues to be called for.
That is a summary of the conflict that is the reason Israel has repeatedly attacked Palestine. However, it is hoped that many parties who support the two of them can make peace.
