History

Historical Context

The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has deep roots, dating back to 1948 when many Palestinians became refugees. Following Hamas's surprise attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,195 Israelis, Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza. By early 2026, over 72,000 Palestinians had died, underscoring the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the fragility of ceasefire agreements, including one brokered in late 2023.
