In today’s situation, it is essential to understand history and politics, if you see the traction, you can understand the purpose of current war. In the early 20th century, the Zionist movement, led by figures like Theodor Herzl, aimed to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine, which was then part of the Ottoman Empire. The Balfour Declaration of 1917, issued by the British government during World War I, expressed support for the establishment of a "national home for the Jewish people" in Palestine. After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate to govern Palestine, and Jewish immigration to the region increased. This led to tensions between Jewish immigrants and the Arab Palestinian population. In the 1930s and 1940s, this tension escalated into conflict, with both Jewish and Palestinian communities suffering violence and hardship.
