In General terms, if we talk about this issue, it is a 100-Year-old Issue.
- It was a huge Story behind this Conflict…When Britian took the control over the area of the Palestine after the Rule of the Ruler who was the Part of the Middle East. During, that period The Empire which was to be known as the Ottoman Empire was being defeated up in the World War at that period.
- At that time, the Land present there was being occupied by a Minority who was Jewish & Arab Majority as well.
- The tension between the 2 Countries & the People were already started Grewing when the International Community gave the Britain the most important task for the Establishment of the National Home in the Country Palestine for the People Jewish who are already living there before.
- At that time, when the news was there for the Establishment of the National Home for the Palestine People, at that time Jews who was already living there that place or say land was their Ancestral Home for them, but at the same time Palestine Arabs claimed for that Land & tried to be opposed that move.
- But in the year 1920 and the year 1940 the number of the Jews who arrived there and was already living there started growing with the Time and the Period as well.
- Between the Jews & the Arabs the Violence was also started and with the time it was Raised rather than being Stopped.
- In the Year 1947, the United Nation (UN) suggested that the Palestine should be Parted Up into the Separate States of Jewish & Arab to make the Jerusalem as an International City.[1]

CREATION OF THE COUNTRY ISRAEL
- In the Year 1948, when the Britishers were unable to resolve their Issues & Problems at that time they left that Place or say Land, the other left people who remained there were the Jewish people on that Particular Land, when the Britishers left they declared that Particular Land as the Creation of the State which was to be known as the Israel.
- The few Palestinians who were also left on that Particular Land objected on this Creation of the State and this held to the War between the Palestinians & the Jewish people.
- When the United Nation suggested that the Palestine must be divided up into the Jewish & Arab States to make the Jerusalem as an International City, now that same City of Jerusalem was being divided up into the 2 forces which were to be known as the Israeli Forces which were being situated in the West, & the Jordanian forces which were being situated up in the East.
- There was still not no Peace between the 2 Countries & also there was no Agreement between those Countries, so it continued to the War & Fighting among each other putting up of blames among each other and it continued for many more years till now.
WHAT DOES THE MAP STATES?
- The Country Israel claims that the Jerusalem is the Capital of their Country, while on the other hand the Palestinians claimed that East Jerusalem is their Capital and their own Future Palestinian State as well. The 2 Countries never agreed on the same point as their points were totally different & they differed from each other. So, that’s why they were unable to reach to a Particular Conclusion ever.
- The United State is the only Country who has recognized the Israel as the Country’s Capital.
- Over the past decades of around 50 Years Israel has built up the Settlements in the Various Areas where there are more than population of 6 Lakh Jews live today.
- But the Palestinians has stated the Statement that the Israel performing every activity is totally Illegal under the International Law and affecting the Peace of the Country, but this Statement is totally denied up by Israel.[2]
