The Israel-Palestine conflict is an enduring and complex issue that has gripped the world's attention for decades. With recent Hamas rocket attacks and Israel's military response, it's essential to take a closer look at the historical context that has shaped this ongoing conflict.
The early foundations (1907-1948)
In 1907, Chaim Weizmann, a chemist and prominent Jewish leader in Britain, set foot in Palestine for the first time.

Within three years, a Jewish National Fund was established, enabling the purchase of land in Palestine.
