Answer 1

Answer: b. accused each other of human rights violations.

The conflict between Israel and Palestine is one of the most widely discussed conflicts in present times. Israel claims an ancient right to the land of Palestine, while Palestinians accuse Israel of illegal displacement and oppression of the Arabic population. Both states also accuse each other of human rights violations. The conflict has led to a huge loss of lives, particularly of civilians in the Palestinian side.
