The Arab-Israeli Conflict, rooted in events between 1937 and 1948, escalated with the Holocaust, the establishment of Israel, and the "Al-Nakba," where multiple Arab nations attacked the nascent state. The formation of the PLO under Yasser Arafat aimed to reclaim Palestine. The Six-Day War in 1967 further intensified tensions, resulting in significant displacement. Subsequent events, including the 1972 Munich massacre, the Camp David Accords, and the rise of Hamas and Hezbollah, mark a complex history of violence, political maneuvering, and ongoing struggles over territory and rights, which continue to this day.
