One of the most critical forms of conflict in todays world is Intrastate conflict, and one of the longest ongoing examples of this is taking place in Israel. The conflict between the Israelites and the Palestinians over the holy land has been taking place for hundreds of years and is no where near an end.
One of largest ongoing intrastate conflicts going on in today’s world is the conflict over Israel by the Israelis and the Palestine’s. This dispute has been going on since the mid 20th century over Israeli boarders, recognition of each other, control of the city of Jerusalem, and a resolution to the refuge problem caused by war in the 60’s. This conflict has caused intense firefights and disputes among the people living in the region and has caused greater problems for all who occupy the area.
These issues rise about due the grievance that lies between the Israelites and Palestinians based on their religion and many of their holy landmarks both occupying the city of Jerusalem. Since these landmarks are scattered among the city, there is dispute over boarders and settlements of the people living in the city. The biggest issue arising from these land disputes is the refuges that live in these areas and are driven out by the war in order to survive. By having their homes and property destroyed by battle the refuges are left in camps to live and survive until they can be relocated to a new destination to occupy.
Though many steps have been taken in order to try and resolve the conflict, the grievance between the two religions over the area is so great that there is no sight of the conflict being resolved in the near future. As long as disagreements between the two religions continue the violence in this region will be along with it.
