Examine the evidence you gathered from your research. Use this evidence to form a
claim about the primary causes of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Write a three- to
five-paragraph argumentative essay that clearly states and supports your claim.

Consider these factors as you write:

● The historical, cultural, and religious reasons the Middle East remains a complex
region

● The historical, political, cultural, and social factors that fueled the Arab-Israeli
conflict

● The role of outside nations in the region, including the United States, in the conflict
and the attempts to resolve it

The Arab-Israeli conflict has been greatly influenced by religious issues from Arab
Palestinians, including the importance of Jerusalem as a sacred city for Muslims, the
existence of religious landmarks like the Al-Aqsa Mosque, and the deeply ingrained
religious beliefs related to the territory.

The conflict has also been greatly influenced by historical Palestinian factors, such as
the 1948 creation of Israel and the subsequent Palestinian refugee crisis, as well as the
Palestinian territories lost to Israel in wars like the Six-Day War. The Arab-Israeli conflict
has also been impacted by religious considerations from other Middle Eastern nations,
such as the historical ties to the area, the shared religious identity with Palestinians, and
the support for Palestinian rights based on Islamic values. The struggle between Israelis
and Palestinians is still going strong because of the underlying tensions and conflicting
claims to the land brought about by these historical and religious elements.The
intermingling of religious convictions with territorial conflicts has complicated the
process of arriving at a long-term solution.

about peace and a long-term resolution to the war have been made more difficult by the
historical injustices and grievances on both sides.The dispute has become more
complex due to the involvement of other Middle Eastern nations, each with their own
interests and viewpoints, making it a complex and difficult problem to resolve
