The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an ongoing one between Israelis and Palestinians. It is part of the larger Arab-Israeli conflict in which Arabs of the Middle East and the Jewish of Israel fight over territory they each claim for itself. This conflict is over mutual recognition (between the Palestinians and the Israelites), security, water rights, and control of Jerusalem (especially between the Jewish and Muslim communities). The dispute is so severe that violence resulting from it has caused an awareness and intervention at the international level, and security and human rights concerns (within and between both sides, and internationally).
Parts of Palestine are within Israel, so this makes the conflict especially difficult to solve. Many attempts have been made to settle the dispute, and the solution that is preferred most by both the Israelis and Palestinians is the two-state solution which would create an independent Palestinian state alongside an independent Jewish state or next to the State of Israel.
To settle this conflict will not be easy to do. The Israeli political leaders have suggested several solutions and offers, but they were all rejected by the Palestinian leaders, who haven't made any counter-offers. It is hard to come up with a solution when only party in the conflict is trying to come up with solutions. I don't think that there will be a solution to the problem, at least in the near future.
