The Israel-Palestine conflict has its roots in the 1948 establishment of Israel and subsequent wars over territory. Key issues in ongoing disputes include Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, Palestinian statehood recognition, and the status of Jerusalem. Both sides have differing perspectives, with Israel prioritizing security and control of the West Bank versus Palestine seeking statehood, freedom of movement, and making Jerusalem its capital. The US supports a two-state solution largely based on the 1967 borders but negotiations have been complicated by ongoing violence and disputes over settlements and refugees. Potential solutions discussed include two-state, three-state, and one-state options but finding a resolution that satisfies both sides remains challenging.
