Presentations-

The Israeli–Palestinian conflict is the ongoing struggle between
Israelis and Palestinians that began in the early 20th century. The
conflict is wide-ranging, and the term is also used in reference to
the earlier phases of the same conflict, between the Zionist yishuv
and the Arab population living in Palestine under Ottoman and then
British rule. It forms part of the wider Arab–Israeli conflict. The
remaining key issues are: mutual recognition, borders, security, water
rights, control of Jerusalem, Israeli settlements, Palestinian freedom
of movement and legalities concerning refugees. The violence resulting
from the conflict has prompted international actions, as well as other
security and human rights concerns, both within and between both
sides, and internationally. In addition, the violence has curbed
expansion of tourism in the region, which is full of historic and
religious sites that are of interest to many people around the world.
