Periscop explains: 8 main points in the history of the new Israel conflict

1. What is currently happening in Israel and Palestine?

Jerusalem has recovered violence after several years of calm. More than 20 people have been killed by recent violent protests where Palestinians have clashed with Israeli police.

2. What caused the rise in violence?

The grief between Palestinians and Israelites caused casualties yesterday and today after Palestinian militants fired missiles toward Jerusalem. In response, the Israeli Army has launched air strikes against militants' targets at the Gaza Strip. The clashes have begun following the growing anger of Palestinians over threats of family expulsion from their homes in eastern Jerusalem on the part of the Israelites. This part of the city is considered mainly Arabic.

3. What happened before the outbreak of the new Israeli-Palestinian conflict?

The Trump administration and Israel have taken a series of steps regarding the control of Palestinian territories. The 85-year-old leader of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, has suspended plans for the elections that were set before us in Palestine, causing frustration among Palestinians. Meanwhile in Israel, the March elections have given Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu another mandate.

4. What's happened since then?

By the time the holy month had begun for Muslims in Ramadan, Palestinians said Israeli police measures were not necessary when they gathered in the Old Town for prayer. In the meantime, videos featuring violence carried out by Israeli soldiers against Palestinians have been published. By late April, some Israelites were even gathered on the streets marching with calls of death to the Arabs and fighting Palestinians.

5. How was the situation over the last few weeks?

Anger grew when an Israeli court decided to allow authorities to remove the palestase from a part of East Jerusalem or a neighborhood known as éik Jahrah” and the same was given to the Jews. On the same day, hundreds of Israeli nationalists have marched to the Old Town to celebrate the anniversary of the city's takeover ( 1967). On Monday, the trial date before the verdict was reached and the situation was over.

6. What's the story?

Jewish families say they lost this land (Sheik Jarrah) during the war that created Israel (1948), where thousands of Palestinians had moved from those countries. Two decades later, Israel took East Jerusalem from the forces of Jordan. According to Israel's laws, heberes who can prove their property before 1948 could be restored to Jerusalem. Such a law does not exist for Palestinians who lost their land in Western Jerusalem.

7. Why is Jerusalem the great crash?

Jerusalem was always the city that produces the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. Its sacred parts have always been disputed between Muslims and Jews.

8. A historical line of affairs How much can the violence now taking place in previous conflicts compare?

There has never been a time that could have been calculated as the absolute link between Israel and Palestine, so the estimate of violence - loss, statistics, and comparison of the episodes of events that took place there are sometimes difficult to prove. It is noteworthy, however, that a similar conflict now that has erupted between the two countries occurred in 2017./The Guardian/Periscope/
