Abstract
In light of the ongoing fighting between Israel and Hamas, this discussion aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the Israeli-Palestinian and

Israeli-Arab conflicts, delving into their historical context and ongoing challenges. The aim of the discussion is to provide understanding of the actors involved and

what motivates their decisions. While we will explore a number of issues, the aim of the discussion is to focus on recent events. To begin, we will explore

the key elements of these conflicts, such as the identification of the primary actors involved, the populations’ competing national aspirations,

territorial claims, and deep-seated historical grievances. While various forms of violence have played a key role in the dispute, diplomacy has also been

central to addressing these issues, and we will examine various peace efforts, agreements, and negotiations that have played a role in shaping

the conflict’s trajectory. A number of other issues will be discussed, including the pivotal issue of the status of Jerusalem, a city of profound

religious significance to Jews, Muslims, and Christians, and a symbol of the broader conflict. Other major issues include internal divisions (including

the Hamas-Fatah conflict that led to Hamas’ takeover in Gaza), the establishment of a viable Palestinian state alongside Israel, the right of return for

Palestinian refugees, the complex issue of Israeli settlements in the West Bank, security and political normalization concerns for Israel, and the broader

regional implications of the conflict. Other areas of focus will include conceptual limitations of international law, external actors and the unique salience of the conflict.

Finally, additional discussions will relate to how to teach and research this conflict(s), especially in relation to broader

conflict studies and the severe limitations posed by unique features of this ongoing and much-discussed conflict.
