The area around Israel and Palestine in particular is at the center of the conflict, as both peoples lay claim to the same territory.

The main actors in the conflict are often Jews, Muslims and Christians. The religious differences are deeply rooted and strongly influence the identities and views of the people in the region.

Israeli settlement policy began after the Six-Day War in 1967, when Israel conquered territories such as the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
