History

Historical Context

The 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza marked a pivotal moment in Israeli-Palestinian relations, leading to Hamas's rise to power after its 2006 electoral victory. This shift resulted in violent confrontations, including over 4,000 rocket attacks on Israel by 2021. The ongoing conflict, exacerbated by humanitarian crises, highlights the urgent need for renewed peace negotiations reminiscent of the 1993 Oslo Accords.
