History

Historical Context

The ongoing Gaza conflict stems from historical tensions dating back to the establishment of Israel in 1948 and subsequent military confrontations, including the 2014 Gaza War, which resulted in over 2,200 Palestinian deaths. The recent escalation, marked by Hamas's October 2023 attacks, reflects deep-rooted grievances over occupation and blockade, with significant humanitarian implications for the region's stability and international relations.
