Explaining the Israel-Palestine Conflict: Roots in History, Leaders on Both Sides, Impacts Around the World

The Israel-Palestine conflict has origins in politics, religion, and land disputes stemming from the British-mandated creation of Israel in 1948.

The main players are Israeli PM Netanyahu and the Palestinian group Hamas, which governs Gaza and opposes Israel's existence.

The two-state solution was closest with the 1995 Oslo Accords, ended by Yitzhak Rabin's assassination.

Global implications include rising oil prices, potential recession, growing Islamic resentment, and galvanized militants.

For India, impacts include economic volatility, dependence on Russian oil, stalled regional trade plans, and disrupted ties with Israel.
