Israel-Palestine Border: Historical Conflicts, Geopolitical Tensions, and Security Implications
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The Israel-Palestine border has been a major conflict zone for decades, shaped by historical, political, and territorial disputes. The conflict traces back to the British Mandate period, where Britain made conflicting promises to Arabs and Jews, leading to tensions. Several boundary commissions attempted to resolve disputes, but disagreements persisted. The 1947 UN Partition Plan aimed to divide the land into Jewish and Arab states, but its implementation resulted in war, the creation of Israel in 1948, and the displacement of many Palestinians.The study also explores the role of cartography in shaping national identities and territorial claims, as well as the long-term consequences of partition, which led to violence, forced migrations, and continued struggles over land and identity. Additionally, it discusses Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system, which plays a crucial role in countering rocket attacks from Gaza. This research highlights the historical complexities of the Israel-Palestine border, the lasting impact of partition, and the role of modern military technology in shaping security and geopolitical tensions in the region.
