for centuries that land belonged to Palestine.
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically after World War 2, the US and the west felt bad over the treatment on the Jewish so they decided to "give" them a piece of land. In the piece of land where the Jewish were settled is a holy site for Muslim palestaniens who had lived there through centuries. The holy site is Jerusalem which is the capital of Israel today. Jerusalem is also significant for Christians as it is mentioned in the Bible. The reason why the US and the West decided to choose that specific site as the "country" for the Jewish was bc of oil. Oil was discovered in the Middle East and the US "needed" a country that would basically support them into having access to the oil. Palestinians and other Muslim countries were infuriated with this. The reason why Israel still stands today is bc the US and other Western countries support them through military and giving them weapons. Hope this helps
