History

Historical Context

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rooted in the 1948 establishment of Israel and subsequent displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, has led to ongoing tensions. The UN General Assembly's Resolution 194 advocates for the right of return for Palestinian refugees. Military actions, including the 1982 Lebanon War, echo historical patterns of violence, with Amnesty International reporting over 1,000 home demolitions in 2021, highlighting persistent human rights concerns.
