In the year 1948 the state of Israel was declared independent, which commenced the Israel conflict. Jews had been looking for a permanent homeland for a long time since they were being persecuted in many parts of Europe. The surrounding Arab Nations viewed this as a “land grab” by Israel, starting the Israel conflicts over the last 50-years. The Israel conflict started when the Zionist movement was formed for the purpose of fighting for a Jewish homeland. When the movement managed to gain international support Israel was born and Jewish from all corners of the earth moved into it.

After independence David Ben-Gurion became the prime minister for 15 years and the Government was headed by the Labor Party for 29 years. During this period the country experienced a high growth rate in both population and economy. Levi Eshkol succeeded David in 1963 and formed the Government with the Herut movement. During this time the Israel conflict commonly referred to as the Six day War broke out which was against Egypt and Palestine. This Israel conflict was won markedly by Israel. After Levi died in 1969 Golda Meir took over but when the Yom Kippur War broke out in 1973 he resigned. Once again this Israel conflict was ended in Israel’s victory.

The next government was headed in 1974 by Yitzhak Rabin, during his time he signed disengagement agreements with Syria and Egypt. On the international arena many African countries and the soviet bloc broke diplomatic relations.

Soon after the Lukid bloc defeated the Labor party and took over power and Menachem Begin became the leader. A peace treaty that entailed exchanging land for peace was signed with Egypt. The economy declined as the stock market collapsed and inflation shot up. Israel conflicts with the surrounding countries reduced significantly during this period. The Israel conflict, the Lebanon War, followed forcing Menachem to resign and he was succeeded by Yitzhak Shamir. Prime Minister Perez withdrew his army and the Lebanon War Israel conflict ceased in 1984. He also set the economy on track again by fighting inflation.

In 1988 the Israel conflict known as the Gaza War where Israel was struck by 39 scud missiles from Iraq. In 1992, under Rabin’s leadership the Labor party formed the government. Rabin was a former defense minister.

In 1994 Palestinians were granted autonomy in the Gaza strip and the West Bank. International relations and Israel conflicts improved and a peace agreement was reached with Jordan. Rabin was then assassinated in 1995.

In 1996 a direct election polling system was introduced and Benjamin Netanyahu was elected to take office. The Government was dissolved due to instability in 1999 and he lost his seat to Ehud Barak. In 2001 Ariel Sharon was elected Prime Minister. In 2003 a coalition between USA and Israel Governments invaded Iraq and Saddam was captured. The potential for an Israel conflict was high, which could have united the Arab communities. Sharons health deteriorated and in 2005 Ehud Olmert took over as Prime Minister.
