Abstract

This study aims to examine the historical background of the conflict between Palestine and Israel and investigate the underlying motives and overlapping benefits of hegemonic powers that provide support and assistance in the conflict between the two countries. The research methodology utilized in this study is documentary research, which includes textbooks, academic articles, and internet sources. The collected data is analyzed and synthesized to reveal that the historical origins of the conflict between Palestine and Israel are influenced by various factors, such as beliefs rooted in historical records and the religious significance of the land. Additionally, another significant factor stems from the efforts of Zionist organizations, which played a crucial role in promoting the intervention of hegemonic powers and ultimately led to the establishment of the State of Israel. Regarding the background and overlapping benefits of hegemonic powers, it is found that controlling the strategic waterways in the region is a key objective, as it serves as a vital route connecting Europe and Asia. International organizations, such as the United Nations, also play an essential role in mediating and seeking resolutions to the ongoing conflict. Furthermore, Arab regional organizations are involved in supporting the demands for justice and advocating for the rights of Palestinian residents in the area. They also seek cooperation with the United Nations to alleviate the conflict between the two countries.
