The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the ongoing struggle between Israelis and Palestinians that began in the mid-20th century amidst the greater Arab-Israeli conflict. The history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict began with the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. This conflict came from the intercommunal violence in Mandatory Palestine between Israelis and Arabs from 1920 and erupted into full-scale hostilities in the 1947-48 civil war. Various attempts have been made to resolve the conflict as part of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
