The history of the conflict between Israel and Palestine: the essence and reasons

The confrontation between the two countries has been going on for more than 75 years

Earlier, on August 31, it was reported that the Israeli Government was seriously discussing annexing parts of the West Bank in response to the possible recognition of Palestine by several Western countries. It is noted that most of the international community considers the West Bank as an Israeli-occupied territory and will consider any Israeli annexations "illegal and provocative."

Earlier in August, Australia, Canada, France and the United Kingdom announced their intention to recognize the state of Palestine at the UN General Assembly (GA) at the end of September 2025.
