Israeli-Palestinian Conflict



JerusalemContext

The history of Israel and Palestine has been defined by violent conflict and missed opportunity.

Israel became an independent state in former Palestine in 1948. This began a conflict which has lasted over half a century with ripple effects throughout the entire international community.

The Israeli West Bank Barrier is often used as a symbol of the conflict creating a physical barrier between Israelis and Palestinians.

Jerusalem is at the heart of the dispute holding a special place in the minds of Jews, Christians and Muslims alike.

Concordis seeks to improve and increase opportunities for informal contact and non-threatening dialogue maintaining neutrality in the pursuit of peace for the region. In particular, this plays out in work on enhancing the positive role of Christian churches in the                                                                                                     Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
