History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War initiated a protracted conflict, displacing around 700,000 Palestinians. Since then, the United Nations has recognized Palestine as a non-member observer state. Recent Israeli military actions, including targeting journalists, echo historical patterns of violence against Palestinians, complicating the already fragile prospects for a two-state solution and intensifying international calls for accountability.
