The issues in Israel and Gaza have always occurred; this is not an issue that just suddenly happened. After World War 2, Jewish people were given parts of Palestine, but the Arabs who already lived there denied them. Gaza went to war in 1948, and the Palestinians who lived there fled to Israel, the new Jewish home. Hamas, a terrorist organization, soon rose to power after 2005. They refuse to recognize Israel and are using violence to gain back Palestinian territory. This is why rocket fires are constantly mentioned recently in the news. The Palestinians have no army, but they fire rockets on Israel, endangering the citizens.
The Israeli army is fighting back through airstrikes, the recent one killing more than 200 Palestinians. Many countries are working to solve the fighting between Israel and Gaza, but nothing has worked so far. I believe the best solution is for Hamas to claim Gaza and the West Bank and create the new country Palestine. In return, Hamas should promise not to take over Israel or harm any of its people, while allowing the Israelis already living on the West Bank to live in peace.
