Palestinian conflict
Holy Land dispute
The Palestinian conflict refers to the ongoing dispute over territory, sovereignty, and self-determination involving Palestinians and Israel, rooted in competing claims to land in the region historically known as Palestine.
The term encompasses decades of military confrontations, diplomatic failures, occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and cycles of violence affecting civilian populations on both sides.
The Palestinian conflict dominated headlines again after the ceasefire collapsed.
Usage varies politically—some frame it as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to emphasize both parties, while others use Palestinian conflict to center Palestinian dispossession and resistance.
