About 700, 000 Arabs living in Palestine at the same time when Jewish immigrants managed to build the new Israelite state. Israel's birth occurred at the beginning of the conflict between Israel and Palestine, which remained inconsistent for 70 years after many attempts.

Tensions with Arab neighbours erupted in the city of 1967 in what is known as the Six-Day War. With a surprise attack, Israel was able to defeat Egypt, Jordan, and Sriia, thereby bringing home the plot of Sinai, the Gaza Belt, the West Wall, East Jerusalem, and the May of Golan that are now under Israel's control. /Periscopi/
