The conflict between Israel and Palestine is an old geopolitical battle based on land claims, past grievances, and unsuccessful peace negotiations. The paper reviews the historical background of the ongoing conflict of Palestine and Israel. The key milestones from providing information of the Ottoman and British mandate periods, the Balfour declaration, the state of Israel 1948, and the Six Day war 1967are been analyzed. This research paper raises an awareness of the conflicts of nationalism with geography and geopolitics; of imperialism based on ethnic and racial differences. This research applied qualitative research that incorporates secondary data that includes articles, history, and articles, to unearth issues that have no resolutions such as the question of Jerusalem, refugees, and settlements. Further this research asserts the importance of human rights and the question of how to establish peace in geographically divided nations. This work demonstrates the importance of recognizing the conflict’s causes, repercussions for regional stability in the Middle East and the entire world, as well as innovative approaches to achieving sustainable outcomes. This study recommends an immediate peaceful solution of the dispute to foster peace and prosperity in the Middle East.
