History

Historical Context

The 1948 Arab-Israeli War resulted in the establishment of Israel and the displacement of over 700,000 Palestinians, many of whom settled in Gaza. Since then, the region has experienced multiple conflicts, including the ongoing Gaza war that began in October 2023, which has led to over 65,000 Palestinian deaths and a dire humanitarian crisis, highlighting the urgent need for international intervention.
