Historical Analysis of the Palestine Question

Abstract

The cause of the continued conflict between Israel and Palestine has been contested since the crisis began in the early 20th century. Countless studies have explained the origins of conflict. This paper analyzes the conflict from a historical perspective. This paper argues that the conflict emerged due to the conflict of interests arising from both parties- Jews and Palestinians. Israel is of the view that they are the rightful owners of the land originally occupied by the Palestinians. The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, to trace the origins of the Palestine Question. And second, to attempt a discussion taken by the crisis since the twentieth century.
