History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War marked the beginning of a protracted conflict, resulting in the establishment of Israel and the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians. By 2021, the UN had passed 202 resolutions addressing this ongoing crisis. Today, calls for Gazans to resist Hamas reflect historical demands for Palestinian self-determination, as the conflict continues to influence regional politics and U.S. support for Israel complicates peace efforts.
