History

Historical Context

The Sykes-Picot Agreement of 1916 partitioned the Ottoman Empire's territories, establishing British and French control over the Middle East. This division ignored ethnic and religious identities, leading to enduring conflicts. Today, Hamas's acceptance of the Gaza Plan mirrors this legacy, as Arab leaders prioritize ties with the U.S. and Israel, perpetuating fractured Arab unity and regional instability.
