Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War initiated enduring conflict, leading to Israel's establishment and the displacement of around 700,000 Palestinians. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) was formed to aid these refugees, now exceeding 5 million. The ongoing violence, including over 65,200 casualties in Gaza, highlights the urgent need for a sustainable resolution amid international divisions over Palestinian statehood.
