<p>The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a long-standing dispute</p><p>that has captured the attention of the international community</p><p>for decades. Rooted in historical political and religious</p><p>factors the conflict has had profound implications for both</p><p>Israelis and Palestinians shaping the region's political landscape</p><p>and sparking numerous debates and controversies</p><p>The origins of the conflict can be traced back to the late</p><p>19th century when Zionist Jews sought to establish a</p><p>homeland in Palestine then under Ottoman rule. The Zionist movement gained momentum in the early 20th century</p><p>particularly following the devastation of World War I and the subsequent collapse of the Ottoman Empire. The British who</p><p>took control of Palestine under the League of Nations mandate promised to support the establishment of a Jewish</p><p>homeland while safeguarding the rights of the Arab population.</p>
