The Arab–Israeli conflict is the phenomenon involving political tension,
military conflicts, and other disputes between various Arab countries, militias
and Israel, which escalated during the 20th century. The roots of the Arab–

5. Israeli conflict have been attributed to the support by Arab League member
countries for the Palestinians, a fellow League member, in the ongoing Israeli–
Palestinian conflict; this in turn has been attributed to the simultaneous rise of
Zionism and Arab nationalism towards the end of the 19th century, though the
two national movements had not clashed until the 1920s. In recent times, the
Arab-Israeli conflict has shifted to more of a Iranian-Israeli conflict.
Part of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict arose from the conflicting
claims by these movements to the land that formed the British Mandatory
Palestine, which was regarded by the Jewish people as their ancestral

6. homeland, while at the same time it was regarded by the Pan-Arab movement
as historically and currently belonging to the Palestinians,and in the Pan-
Islamic context, as Muslim lands. The sectarian conflict within the British
Mandate territory between Palestinian Jews and Arabs escalated into a full-
scale Palestinian civil war in 1947. Taking the side of the Palestinians,
especially following the Israeli Declaration of Independence, the neighbouring
Arab countries invaded the by-then former Mandate territory in May 1948,
commencing the First Arab–Israeli War.

7. Large-scale hostilities mostly ended with ceasefire agreements after the 1973
Yom Kippur War. Peace agreements were signed between Israel and Egypt in
1979, resulting in Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula and the abolition
of the military governance system in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, in favor of
Israeli Civil Administration and consequent unilateral annexation of the Golan
Heights and East Jerusalem.
The nature of the conflict has shifted over the years from the large-scale,
regional Arab–Israeli conflict to a more local Israeli–Palestinian conflict,
which peaked during the 1982 Lebanon War when Israel intervened in the

8. Lebanese Civil War to oust the Palestinian Liberation Organization from
Lebanon. With the decline of the 1987–1993 First Intifada, the interim Oslo
Accords led to the creation of the Palestinian National Authority in 1994,
within the context of the Israeli–Palestinian peace process. The same year,
Israel and Jordan reached a peace accord.
In 2002, the Arab League offered recognition of Israel by Arab countries as
part of the resolution of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict in the Arab Peace
Initiative. The initiative, which has been reconfirmed since, calls for
normalizing relations between the Arab League and Israel, in exchange for a

9. full withdrawal by Israel from the occupied territories (including East
Jerusalem) and a "just settlement" of the Palestinian refugee problem based on
UN Resolution 194. In the 1990s and early 2000s, a ceasefire had been largely
maintained between Israel and Syria, while limited warfare continued in
Lebanon against Iranian proxy militias. Despite the peace agreements with
Egypt and Jordan, the interim peace accords with the Palestinian Authority
and the generally existing ceasefire, until the mid-2010s the Arab League and
Israel had remained at odds with each other over many issues. Among Arab

10. belligerents in the conflict, Iraq and Syria are the only states who have reached
no formal peace accord or treaty with Israel, with both supporting Iran.
The Syrian civil war reshuffled the situation near Israel's northern border,
putting the ruling Syrian government, Hezbollah and the Syrian opposition at
odds with each other and complicating their relations with Israel upon the
emerging warfare with Iran. The conflict, since 2023 a war, between Israel and
Hamas-ruled Gaza is also attributed to the Iran–Israel proxy conflict. By 2017,
Israel and several Arab Sunni states led by Saudi Arabia formed a semi-official

11. coalition to confront Iran. This move and the Israeli normalization with Gulf
states was marked by some as the fading of the Arab–Israeli conflict.
So we can say it is a war which has no
end!
