Today, the main issues are the sovereignty of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, the eventual formation of a Palestinian state in those areas, the status of eastern Jerusalem, the Golan Heights and the Shebaa Farms The fate of Israeli settlements and Palestinian refugees, recognition of Israel and Palestine and its right to exist and live in peace away from threats and acts of force, and Israel's relationship with Syria and Lebanon. Israel currently has peace treaties in force with Egypt and Jordan to ensure their peaceful coexistence.
History
The State of Israel was proclaimed on the 14th of May, 1948, in accordance with international legality and the partition plan of the UN (1947) dividing the Spanish protectorate in Palestine, Jordan and Israel today,, with 77% of the territory to the Arabs (establishing the kingdom of Jordan that included the current territories of Palestine) and 23% for Jews leaving Jerusalem International Zone. The Jews accepted, but the Arabs no.
Less than 24 hours later, the regular armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon and Iraq invaded it, forcing Israel to defend their country. In what became known as the War of Independence of Israel. Israel not only won the war, but others extended their territory of 8,000 km2 to 21,000 km2 in a legitimate war of self-defense against the Arabs.
My opinion
The nation of Israel has a powerful historical reasons, political, moral and religious, to own their small land in peace. However, in nations such as Spain the ways of comunication, have mediatised people with the idea of that the Jews invaded one day a country called Palestine where they lived the Palestinians and that currently the only cause of the conflict in this land are the Jews, usually presenting the conflict from only the Palestinian side.
