The document summarizes the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict over land in Palestine. In the late 1800s, Jews fleeing persecution in Europe sought to establish a homeland in Palestine, the land they referred to as the "promised land." However, Palestine was already inhabited by Arab Palestinians. Tensions rose after World War I when Britain gained control over Palestine and facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, disregarding the concerns of the native Arab population. After the Holocaust, more Jewish immigrants sought refuge in Palestine, fueling greater conflict over land and national identity. Subsequent wars and peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors have failed to produce a lasting resolution.
