The Arab-Israeli conflict, sometimes called the Arab-, spans about a century of political tensions and open hostilities. It involves the establishment of the modern State Of Israel as a Jewish Nation State , as well as the relationship between the Arab nations and the state of Israel (see related Israeli-Palestinian Conflict ). Some uses of the term '' Middle East conflict'' refer to this matter; however, the region has been host to other conflicts not involving Israel (see List Of Conflicts In The Middle East ). See Also: History of the Middle East HISTORY See Also: History of the Arab-Israeli conflict The Arab-Israeli conflict dates back to the end of the 19th century. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire in 1917, the conflict became a major international issue. Over time, the League Of Nations , Great Britain, the United Nations , the United States, and the USSR , have all played major roles in the conflict, as does the Quartet On The Middle East today. The conflict spans major wars including the 1948 Arab-Israeli War , 1956 Suez War , 1967 Six Day War , 1970 War Of Attrition , 1973 Yom Kippur War , and 1982 Lebanon War as well as a number of lesser conflicts. A major theme in the history of the conflict has been the refusal of Arab nations to Create A Palestinian State that would not involve the destruction of Israel. In the course of the conflict, many Arabs were displaced from what is now Israel, and many Jews were displaced from what is now Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Jordan, Iraq, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, the Palestinian Territories, Syria, Tunisia, and Yemen (see Palestinian Refugees and Jewish Exodus From Arab Lands ). The conflict has also been the source of two major Palestinian Intifada s (uprisings). Al-Qaeda , a largely Arab organization, has cited the conflict among its justifications for attacks on targets in the West. REASONS FOR THE CONFLICT See Also: Views of the Arab-Israeli conflict There is not a single "Israeli/Jewish" view on one hand and "Palestinian/Arab" view on the other, as opinions within groups differ widely.
