Historical Recap
Prior to 1948, Israel wasn’t an existing state. Early 1900s Palestine was a part of the Ottomans Empire, Where Christians, Jews and Muslims lived alongside one another without any complications. An uprising of Zionists in Europe called for the creation of an independent Jewish state in Palestine, most immigrating to the state of Palestine. By the end of WWI, the Ottomans Empire had decreased, and Palestine was now under the British Rule.
1967, The Six-Day-War breaks out. When the conflict ended Israel occupied over 99% of Palestine. With Israel having complete authority over what's left of Palestine Jewish settlers begin immigrating to the West Bank and Gaza Strip creating tension between Israeli and Palestinian citizens.Till this day the conflict remains unresolved.
1917, Britain supports and claims a Jewish state shall be created on Palestine creating tension between the two resulting in Britain shifting the authority towards the UN (United Nations).1947 The UN adopted a resolution to split Palestine into two states, one Jewish the other Arab. Jerusalem – A sacred holy land important to Jewish, Muslim and Christian faith. -- becoming an internationally controlled zone.1948, The British Mandate ended and the state of Israel was declared. While Israeli/Jewish citizens accept the plan to create Israel as an independent state, neighboring countries object to the taken land which begins the first Arab-Israeli War.1949, Israel occupies Palestinian land assigned by the UN, claiming 78% of historical Palestine. With the occupation of Palestinian land 700’000 Palestinians became refugees, the day being remembered as Al Nakba.
