Palestine’s struggle too is one of

the main problems in the Middle

East. After the British

announcement of the

establishment of the country of

Israel on the Palestinian lands,

Jewish people from around the

world moved to the announced

area to o cially become Israelis,

which caused a huge con ict in

the area. Nations like Egypt,

Jordan, and Syria were some of

the nations that got into con icts

and even wars with Israel because

of that. The Palestinian struggle

continues until this day, as the

Israeli-Palestinian ght is still on.
