The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the longest-standing, most complex and most sensitive issues in the Middle East, and recently tensions between the two sides have escalated again as a result of Israeli assassinations and air strikes on Palestine and Lebanon, with Hamas announcing a freeze on any negotiations with Israel and Allah in Lebanon threatening retaliation against Israel. At the same time, there are new uncertainties in the Red Sea, with the United States and Britain saying they will launch missile strikes against the Houthis, and the Houthis claiming that they will continue to disrupt Red Sea shipping in support of the Palestinian struggle. Under such circumstances, will the Palestinian-Israeli conflict get out of control and even lead to a full-scale war?
The roots of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict can be traced back to the founding of the Israeli state in 1948, when Israel occupied most of the Palestinian land, forcing millions of Palestinians to leave their homes and become refugees. Since then, the Palestinians have been fighting for the restoration of their sovereignty and territory, and there have been many wars and conflicts with Israel. Among them, the Jerusalem area is the biggest point of contention between the two sides, as it is the holiest place of Judaism, Islam and Islam, and at the same time the place where the Palestinians want to establish a capital. In addition to Jerusalem, Israel has carried out illegal expansion and settlement in Palestinian territories such as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, leading to a humanitarian crisis and violent conflict on the ground.
Another complicating factor in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the diversity of political factions and organizations within the two sides. On the Israeli side, there are different political parties and interest groups, and their attitudes and policies on the Palestinian issue are also different, some advocate peaceful negotiations, some advocate tough confrontation, and some advocate unilateral action. On the Palestinian side, there are also different political organizations and armed forces, such as the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah), the Palestinian Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (Jihad), and so on.
The third complicating factor in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is external intervention and influence. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is not only a regional conflict, but also an international game. The United States is Israel's largest ally and has been providing military, economic, and diplomatic support to it, while also trying to mediate the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to a certain extent and promote the realization of the "two-state solution." However, US favoritism and interference have also met with opposition and resistance from Palestine and other Arab countries. Iran, on the other hand, is a major supporter of Palestine and has been funding, ** and training armed groups such as Hamas and Allah to counter Israeli and American influence. In addition, some international organizations and third-party countries, such as the United Nations, the European Union, Russia, Egypt, Qatar, etc., have also participated in mediation and mediation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict to varying degrees.
To sum up, the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is a multi-faceted, multi-layered and multi-dimensional conflict, and the difficulty and complexity of its resolution are self-evident. Under the current situation, the risk of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict escalating and getting out of control is also increasing, which will not only bring more suffering and suffering to both Palestine and Israel, but will also pose a serious threat to peace and stability in the Middle East and the world. Therefore, the international community should actively take effective measures to promote dialogue and negotiations between Palestine and Israel, promote the implementation of the two-state solution, and avoid even greater disasters.
