==Background==
 
Over many centuries, Jews were scattered to many other countries. In 1516, the Ottoman Empire conquered the region and ruled it for the next four centuries. After WWI, the area of Israel was divided between Britain and France. In 1922 Britain was given control. Over time, more and more Jews immigrated to Israel, especially after WWII, and on 14 May 1948, Jews declared the state of Israel. This led to war with Arab countries in 1948 and continuing conflicts.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Israel#History Israel History], (accessed 11 August 2023).</ref>
