1948 – 1967
In 1948, the state of Israel was established, leading to a long-standing conflict with the Palestinian Arab population and neighboring Arab nations. The creation of Israel displaced many Palestinians, sparking tensions and wars in the region. In the years that followed, Israel faced invasions and conflicts with its neighbors. The tension culminated in the Six-Day War in 1967, where Israel achieved a swift military victory, significantly expanding its territory. This period set the stage for the ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians over land, identity, and sovereignty.
