00:00One day, God, or Lord, as most commonly referred to in the Old Testament,

00:08asks Abram to leave his country and people,

00:11travel to the land of Canaan, and establish a new tribe there.

00:17According to the Old Testament, at the age of 75,

00:21Abram heeds this call, setting out on this journey with his wife Sarai and his nephew Lot.

00:27After a long journey, they arrive in the promised land of Canaan,

00:32where they are told that this land is chosen for them and granted to their lineage.

00:39But the land of Canaan was already inhabited by various Canaanite tribes before he arrived.

00:45These tribes are mentioned in several passages of the Old Testament.

00:49The most frequently mentioned Canaanite tribes are the Hittites,

00:53Amorites, Hivites, Jebusites, Perizites, and Girgashites.

01:00The Canaanites were a diverse group of people with their own distinct cultures and languages.

01:07They were primarily agriculturalists, but they also engaged in trade and other economic activities.

01:13The Canaanites were also known for their religious practices, which included polytheism.

01:22The biblical narrative does not provide a specific date for his arrival in Canaan,

01:28but it is generally believed to have taken place in the early 2nd millennium BC.

01:34The relationship between him and the Canaanites is complex and often fraught with tension.

01:39In some passages, the Canaanites are portrayed as hospitable and welcoming to him and his family,

01:47while in other passages they are portrayed as hostile and antagonistic.

01:53Despite the challenges he faced, he eventually established himself and his family in Canaan.

01:59At the age of 99, Abram makes a covenant with the Lord.

02:10And his name is changed to Abraham.

02:13Abraham dies at the age of 175 and is buried in the cave of Machpelah,

02:19near the city of Hebron, located in today's west bank.

02:23Abraham had two sons, one was Isaac, and the other was Ishmael.

02:31Isaac is regarded as the ancestor of the Jews,

02:35while Ishmael is considered the ancestor of the Arabs.

02:42These brothers share the same father, but have different mothers.

02:47Isaac was born to Sarah, while Ishmael was born to Hagar.

02:53Isaac, around the age of 60, is granted a son, even though his wife is barren.

03:02His name is Jacob.

03:04Jacob, by the Lord, is given the name Israel.

03:07The 12 sons of Jacob are the first generation of the children of Israel, or the Israelites.

03:13The lineages of these 12 sons eventually form the 12 tribes of Israel.

03:18According to the narrative in the Old Testament, under the leadership of Joseph,

03:27one of Jacob's 12 sons, Israelites, entered Egypt.

03:32Initially, they lived in peace and security in Egypt,

03:35since Joseph had attained a significant position in the Egyptian administration.

03:40However, as the regime in Egypt changed, so did their situation in the country.

03:47The population of Israelites was increasing,

03:50and the new Pharaoh started to feel uneasy about them.

03:56Israelites experienced a period of great oppression in Egypt.

04:00They believed they were chosen and blessed by God.

04:03Despite this, they were enslaved and subjugated by the polytheistic, idol-worshipping people of Egypt,

04:11forced to work to death in the cities of Pharaoh, who claimed divinity for himself.

04:21This continued until a Savior sent by God arrived.

04:26That Savior was Moses.

04:28God instructed Moses to go to Pharaoh and lead Israelites out of Egypt.

04:35According to the Old Testament,

04:37the Israelites journeyed from Ramesses to Sukkoth.

04:41There were about 600,000 men on foot, besides women and children.

04:46They had stayed in Egypt for 430 years.

04:54The Ten Commandments were also revealed to Israelites through Moses.

04:59According to the Old Testament,

05:01the first of the Ten Commandments formed the foundation of Jewish belief,

05:05which is the oneness of God or monotheism.

05:09Jewish culture developed based on this divine command.

05:16Therefore, the Ark of the Covenant,

05:19which contained the Ten Commandments and other revelations given to Moses,

05:24became the most valued possession and symbol of the Jewish people,

05:28under the command of Joshua, who succeeded Moses.

05:32Israelites carried the Ark of the Covenant,

05:35their most sacred relic, as they conquered Canaan.

05:38They fought against idol-worshipping tribes,

05:41and their rallying cry was,

05:43Hear, O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is one.

05:49Under Joshua,

05:50Israelites battled idol-worshipping factions in Canaan,

05:54a struggle lasting generations due to their tribal division.

05:59Lacking a central state,

06:01they rallied around religious judges during wars.

06:04Their plea for monarchy led Samuel to appoint Saul as king,

06:09initiating Israel's monarchy,

06:11which saw victories.

06:13Yet it was David,

06:15a Judahite,

06:16not Saul's descendant,

06:18who founded Israel's first dynasty,

06:20elevating its power unprecedentedly.

06:24He conquered the city of Jerusalem,

06:26and made it the capital.

06:29King David engaged in conflict with various tribes,

06:34including the Philistines,

06:35who hailed from the Aegean area,

06:37likely modern-day Crete,

06:39and settled in Canaan around 1175 BC.

06:42They inhabited a strategically valuable coastal region of Canaan,

06:49extending from Gaza in the south to Tel Kassil,

06:53close to what is now Tel Aviv.

06:56This region was particularly fertile,

06:58and lay along a vital international trade corridor.

07:02Their urban centers were five main cities,

07:05Gaza,

07:06Ashdod,

07:07Ashkelon,

07:08Ekron,

07:08and Gath,

07:10situated along Canaan's southern coast.

07:13In the most famed clash,

07:15David faced off against the Philistine giant Goliath,

07:19during an extensive conflict between the two nations.

07:24He was successful not only militarily,

07:27but also diplomatically.

07:29During David's time,

07:31the territories controlled by the Israelites

07:33expanded from the Sinai Peninsula in the south,

07:36to the Euphrates River in the north.

07:38One of David's biggest ambitions

07:43was to build a grand temple

07:45to house the Ark of the Covenant,

07:48which had been carried on backs

07:49or hidden away in obscure places until then.

07:52in the south,

07:53in the south,

07:54in the south.

07:54However,

07:55this task fell to his son,

07:58Solomon.

07:59Solomon commissioned a magnificent temple in Jerusalem,

08:03where the Ark of the Covenant was placed.

08:05after centuries of migrations,

08:11wars,

08:12and chaos,

08:13Israelites found prosperity,

08:15peace,

08:15and security.

08:19They would never again attain the peace and security

08:22they had during the reigns of David and Solomon.

08:26On the contrary,

08:27the nation would first be torn from within,

08:30then crushed by their enemies.

08:32upon Solomon's death,

08:38his son Rehoboam ascended to the throne.

08:42However,

08:43Rehoboam's leadership was met with resistance,

08:46particularly due to his refusal to lighten the tax burden

08:50as demanded by Jeroboam and the people

08:53leading to the division of the united monarchy

08:56into the northern kingdom of Israel

08:58and the southern kingdom of Judah

09:01around 931 B.C.

09:11The ten northern tribes made Jeroboam their king,

09:15while only the tribes of Judah and Benjamin

09:18remained under Rehoboam's rule

09:20alongside the Levites.

09:21The division resulted in a period of political instability

09:25and conflict,

09:27with both kingdoms experiencing various degrees

09:30of prosperity and challenge.

09:32This separation marked the beginning

09:35of two distinct political entities,

09:38the northern kingdom,

09:39with its capital eventually in Samaria,

09:42and the southern kingdom,

09:44which continued to have its capital in Jerusalem.

09:47In 722 B.C.,

09:52Samaria was invaded by the Assyrians.

09:55With this invasion,

09:57ten tribes living in the northern kingdom of Israel

09:59gradually vanished from the historical stage.

10:03Most were exiled and assimilated,

10:06losing their identities wherever they went.

10:09From that day on,

10:10they were referred to as the ten lost tribes of Israel.

10:14The southern kingdom of Judah,

10:21governed by the lineage of David,

10:23lasted longer.

10:25In 587 B.C.,

10:27King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon

10:29invaded Jerusalem,

10:31overthrowing the kingdom of Judah.

10:34Jerusalem was razed to the ground,

10:36and more importantly,

10:37the temple built by Solomon was destroyed.

10:40Most Jews were enslaved and exiled to Babylon.

10:43This period of captivity lasted 50 years,

10:52until the Persian conquest of Babylon.

10:56Cyrus the Great,

10:57the Persian king,

10:59issued a decree in 538 B.C.

11:02that allowed the Jewish exiles

11:04to return to Jerusalem

11:05and rebuild their temple,

11:07effectively granting them the status

11:09of a self-governing province

11:11within the Achaemenid Persian Empire.

11:14This strategy was designed to secure

11:16the loyalty of his new citizens

11:18by honoring their cultural and religious customs.

11:22For the first time in history,

11:29a nation was returning to its homeland.

11:32The recovery following the return took 70 years,

11:36culminating in 458 B.C.

11:38with the rise of Ezra,

11:40a priest.

11:42Ezra, along with his assistant Nehemiah,

11:45began rebuilding Solomon's temple,

11:47which had been in ruins for about 150 years.

11:51This marked the beginning

11:52of what is known in Jewish history

11:54as the Second Temple Period.

11:57During most of this period,

11:59Jews lived under foreign rule.

12:02The only period of independence

12:04during the Second Temple Period

12:06came with the Hasmonean Kingdom,

12:09established following the Maccabean Revolt,

12:11historically known as the Maccabean Uprising.

12:17The revolt, which erupted in 167 B.C.,

12:21was a Jewish rebellion

12:22against the Seleucid Empire

12:24and its Hellenistic influence,

12:26particularly under King Antiochus IV.

12:29Antiochus' imposition of foreign customs and religion,

12:36including a ban on Jewish practices

12:38and desecration of the temple,

12:40sparked widespread dissent.

12:43The revolt was catalyzed when Matathias,

12:46a Jewish priest,

12:47refused to perform a pagan sacrifice

12:49and killed a fellow Jew who did so,

12:52as well as a Seleucid official.

12:55This act of defiance led to an open rebellion

12:58led by Matathias and his sons,

13:01known as the Maccabees.

13:04The rebellion didn't just remain an uprising.

13:07It succeeded in liberating Jerusalem

13:10from pagan invaders

13:11and achieved success in a short span of time.

13:17In 164 B.C.,

13:20the traditional festival of Hanukkah

13:22was celebrated in the Temple of Jerusalem,

13:25which had been cleansed of all pagan gods

13:28and symbols.

13:29Jews refer to this as a pure festival.

13:34In 63 B.C.,

13:36Roman commander Pompey captured Jerusalem

13:39and overthrew the Hasmonean state,

13:42marking the end of the last independent Jewish kingdom

13:45in history.

13:46From that point on,

13:50until the 7th century A.D.,

13:53with a few brief interruptions,

13:55the land was governed by the Romans.

13:58Initially, the relationship between Rome

14:00and the province of Judea

14:02and its Jewish inhabitants

14:04was unproblematic.

14:06A minor Jewish revolt that occurred in 53 B.C.

14:10was suppressed by Rome.

14:12This revolt did not significantly damage relations,

14:16but over time,

14:17relations between the two sides deteriorated.

14:21The crucifixion of Jesus,

14:24a Jewish preacher

14:25who was seen by his followers as the Messiah,

14:28in the early 1st century A.D.

14:30further complicated Jewish-Roman relations.

14:33While the event itself

14:35was part of a broader pattern

14:37of Roman responses

14:38to perceived challenges to their authority,

14:41it also had particular consequences

14:43for the Jewish community.

14:46Following the crucifixion,

14:48tensions between the Jewish leadership,

14:50who were concerned about maintaining

14:52the peace with Rome,

14:54and the growing number of Jesus followers,

14:56who were predominantly Jewish at the time,

14:59began to rise.

15:00These internal divisions

15:02added to the already complex dynamics

15:05of Judean society

15:07under Roman rule.

15:10By the year 66 A.D.,

15:13the Jews initiated a major revolt,

15:16which soon escalated

15:17into the first Jewish-Roman war.

15:20The Romans were militarily

15:21and technologically superior to the Jews,

15:24but the province of Judea

15:26was quite far from the empire's center,

15:29making logistical support challenging.

15:33Consequently,

15:35the wars between the Romans and Jews

15:37continued for seven years.

15:40In the summer of 70 A.D.,

15:43Emperor Titus entered Jerusalem

15:45after a long siege,

15:47destroying the city's walls

15:49and the city itself once again.

15:51The second temple

15:52also fell victim to the destruction.

15:55A large portion of the Jews

15:58in the city were killed,

16:00and the remaining 97,000 Jews

16:03were captured,

16:04enslaved,

16:05and taken to Rome.

16:07About 30,000 of these

16:09were settled in Carthage.

16:11According to historian Josephus,

16:14those who managed to escape

16:15dispersed to the eastern Mediterranean

16:17and Mesopotamia.

16:20History repeated itself,

16:22and the Jews were exiled once again,

16:24this time by another empire.

16:29The Arch of Titus in Rome,

16:32built after Emperor Titus' death in 81 A.D.,

16:36celebrates the victory of Vespasian and Titus

16:39in the Jewish War.

16:41Its relief depicts the spoils

16:43taken from Jerusalem's temple,

16:45including the menorah

16:46and showbread table.

16:48Israel adopted the menorah

16:50as its emblem in 1949,

16:53inspired by the archer's imagery.

16:57Some time after the capture of Jerusalem

17:00in 70 A.D.,

17:02a Roman colony was established

17:04on the city's ruins,

17:05Elia Capitolina.

17:07The first Jewish-Roman wars

17:10completely ended in 73 A.D.

17:12The Roman policy of enslavement

17:15led to a decrease in the Jewish population

17:17in the region,

17:18but a considerable number of Jews

17:20continued to live in and around Jerusalem.

17:23However,

17:24a new unrest,

17:26called Bar Kokhba revolt,

17:28that broke out in 132 A.D.,

17:31would change this situation.

17:34Now,

17:34a massive temple of Jupiter

17:36stood where the former temple had been,

17:38and the city had essentially

17:39turned into a Roman military garrison.

17:43Roman historian Cassius Dio

17:45described the scene after the revolt.

17:48Fifty of their most important outposts

17:50and 985 of their most famous villages

17:54were razed to the ground.

17:57580,000 men were slain

17:59in the various raids and battles,

18:01and the number of those

18:03that perished by famine,

18:04disease, and fire

18:05was past finding out.

18:08Thus,

18:09nearly the whole of Judea

18:11was made desolate.

18:13The consequences of the Bar Kokhba revolt

18:16were indeed devastating for the Jews.

18:20Jewish war prisoners

18:21were recaptured by the Romans

18:23and sold as slaves.

18:25Jews were prohibited

18:26from entering Jerusalem,

18:28except on certain

18:29religiously significant days.

18:33Following the conflicts

18:35between the Jews and Rome,

18:37Emperor Hadrian renamed

18:38the Judean province

18:39to Syria-Palestina.

18:42This designation was derived

18:44from the Philistines,

18:45historic adversaries

18:47of the Israelites,

18:48as a strategy

18:49to diminish Jewish association

18:51with the territory.

18:55Additionally,

18:56as a result of the wars,

18:58the number of Jews

18:59voluntarily migrating from Judea

19:01significantly increased.

19:07Jewish prisoners

19:08prisoners and their children

19:09who were sold as slaves

19:10were later freed

19:12and joined local free communities.

19:17When Islamic armies

19:18conquered Palestine

19:19in 638 AD,

19:22the Jewish population

19:23was approximately

19:24150,000.

19:27However,

19:27they were still prohibited

19:29from entering Jerusalem.

19:33Caliph Omar lifted this ban

19:35upon capturing the city.

19:37After 500 years,

19:39Jews regained the freedom

19:40to settle in Jerusalem.

19:42Although some restrictions

19:43were imposed over time,

19:45these did not significantly

19:47limit Jewish freedoms.

19:51Nevertheless,

19:52high taxes,

19:53particularly on agricultural lands,

19:56led many Jews

19:57to migrate from rural areas

19:59to cities

20:00and ultimately

20:02to emigrate from the country.

20:03By the end

20:05of the 11th century,

20:06the Jewish population

20:07in Palestine

20:08had decreased significantly.

20:15The Crusaders

20:16seized Jerusalem

20:17in 1099,

20:19marking an era

20:20of heightened persecution

20:22and violence

20:22against Jews

20:23during the Crusades.

20:26European Jewish communities,

20:28particularly along

20:29the Rhine and Danube,

20:31suffered devastating attacks.

20:32This violence

20:34spread fear

20:35as far as Jewish communities

20:37in the Middle East.

20:38In Haifa,

20:39Jewish and Muslim forces

20:41united against the Crusaders,

20:43yet faced mass slaughter

20:45upon the city's defeat.

20:48The Crusaders spared no one,

20:50taking the lives

20:51of all they encountered,

20:53regardless of age or faith,

20:55including Jewish

20:56and Muslim women

20:57and children.

20:58the Crusaders

21:00in Jerusalem.

21:00Similarly,

21:02in Jerusalem,

21:03Jews and Muslims

21:04fought together.

21:05The Crusaders

21:06destroyed a synagogue,

21:08and after Jerusalem's fall,

21:10surviving Jews

21:11faced execution,

21:13forced conversion

21:14or ransom.

21:15due to migrations

21:22or exiles

21:22spanning thousands

21:24of years,

21:25Jews dispersed

21:26to various parts

21:27of the world.

21:28Jews who migrated

21:29to Germany

21:30and north-eastern France

21:32were named Ashkenazi,

21:34those in Spain

21:34and Portugal,

21:36Sephardic,

21:37in Egypt,

21:38Iraq,

21:38and Yemen,

21:39Mizrahi,

21:40and in Central Asia

21:42and the Caucasus,

21:43Bukharan.

21:44Notably,

21:45many Ashkenazi Jews

21:47from Europe

21:47crossed the ocean

21:48during the 17th

21:49and 18th centuries

21:51to settle in America.

21:55The Middle Ages

21:57witnessed pogroms

21:58against Jewish communities

22:00in Europe,

22:01and their fate

22:02was often at the mercy

22:03of shifting political dynamics.

22:06During the Renaissance,

22:08Jewish scholars

22:08were instrumental

22:09in conveying

22:10ancient wisdom

22:11to Europe's burgeoning

22:13intellectual societies.

22:16However,

22:16the Age of Enlightenment

22:18introduced new kinds

22:19of anti-Semitism,

22:21compelling Jews

22:22to tread a fragile path

22:24throughout Europe.

22:26In the Ottoman Empire,

22:28which seized control

22:30of Jerusalem in 1516,

22:32Jews enjoyed a level

22:34of prosperity

22:35and were influential

22:36in commerce,

22:37trade,

22:38and even held

22:39high offices

22:40such as that

22:41of Sanjak Bey,

22:42a governorship

22:43typically reserved

22:44for Muslims.

22:46Notably,

22:47Sultan Bayezid II

22:49welcomed the Sephardic Jews

22:51who were expelled

22:52from Spain

22:53and Portugal

22:53following the Alhambra decree

22:55of 1492.

22:58The Ottomans

22:59allowed these Jews

23:00to settle

23:00in the wealthier cities

23:02of the Empire,

23:02significantly in areas

23:04such as

23:05Istanbul,

23:06Salonika,

23:07and Jerusalem,

23:09amongst others.

23:10These communities

23:11thrived

23:12and significantly

23:13influenced

23:14the cultural

23:15and social fabric

23:16of the Ottoman Empire,

23:18forming a vital part

23:20of its diverse population.

23:22For instance,

23:23David Ben-Gurion,

23:25the founder

23:26of the State of Israel,

23:28and Yitzhak Benzvi,

23:29its longest-serving president,

23:31studied in

23:32Istanbul University.

23:35However,

23:36they were obligated

23:37to pay the jizya,

23:39a specific tax

23:40imposed on

23:41non-Muslim citizens,

23:43and they also

23:43faced some restrictions.

23:47In 1860,

23:49Jewish journalist

23:50Theodor Herzl

23:51suggested that Jews

23:53should depart Europe

23:54to avoid

23:55anti-Semitism

23:56and the risk

23:57of cultural assimilation,

23:59advocating for

24:00the establishment

24:01of a Jewish homeland

24:02in Palestine.

24:04He published

24:04Der Judenstaat,

24:06laying out his vision

24:07for a Jewish homeland,

24:09which quickly brought him

24:10to prominence

24:11in the Jewish world.

24:13Herzl convened

24:14the first Zionist Congress

24:16in Basel

24:16in 1897

24:18and tried to gain support

24:20for a Jewish state

24:22by approaching leaders

24:23like German Emperor

24:25Wilhelm II

24:26and Ottoman Sultan

24:28Abdul Hamid II,

24:31though unsuccessfully.

24:33The movement gained momentum

24:35in the early 20th century,

24:37particularly after the Balfour

24:39Declaration of 1917,

24:42which supported the establishment

24:43of a national home

24:45for the Jewish people

24:46in Palestine,

24:48then an Ottoman region

24:49with a small minority

24:51Jewish population.

24:53But Arthur James Balfour,

24:56known for the Balfour Declaration,

24:58is often noted

24:59for his anti-Semitic views.

25:02In 1905,

25:03he supported the Aliens Act,

25:06designed to curb

25:07the immigration

25:07of Russian Jews to Britain,

25:10citing them as

25:11undesirable.

25:13Balfour's advocacy

25:14for a Jewish homeland

25:15in Palestine

25:16was partly influenced

25:18by his preference

25:19to not have Jewish individuals

25:21in British society.

25:23He regarded Zionism

25:24as a means

25:25to ease

25:26the historical discomfort

25:28that the Jewish presence

25:29had ostensibly caused

25:31in Western civilization,

25:33a presence which he felt

25:34Europe could neither

25:35fully expel

25:37nor assimilate.

25:38Following World War I,

25:43the defeat

25:43of the Ottoman Empire

25:44led to Palestine

25:45coming under

25:46British administration

25:48as part of the

25:49League of Nations

25:50mandate system.

25:52This era,

25:53known as

25:53the British Mandate,

25:55witnessed a surge

25:56in Jewish immigration

25:57to the region

25:58and escalating conflicts

26:00among the Jewish

26:01and Arab populations,

26:03as well as

26:04with the British authorities.

26:06The Arab Revolt

26:07of 1936-1939,

26:10a resistance

26:11against British rule

26:12and Jewish immigration

26:13led to the British

26:15White Paper of 1939,

26:18which proposed

26:19a joint Arab-Jewish state.

26:23During the revolt,

26:25British forces killed

26:26over 2,000 Arabs

26:28in combat,

26:29hanged 108,

26:30and attributed

26:31the death of 961

26:33to gang

26:34and terrorist activities.

26:37An analysis

26:38by Palestinian historian

26:40Walid Khalidi

26:42suggests there were

26:43approximately

26:4419,792

26:46Arab casualties.

26:50Following the Arab Revolt,

26:52there were numerous attacks

26:53by Jewish paramilitary groups,

26:56with the Irgun

26:57being one of the most active.

26:59Irgun carried out

27:0060 attacks

27:01against Palestinian

27:03and British targets

27:04and was described

27:05as a terrorist organization

27:07by sources

27:08including

27:09the New York Times

27:10and prominent figures

27:12like UK Prime Minister

27:14Winston Churchill.

27:18Irgun attacks

27:19encompassed assaults

27:20on British police stations,

27:22assassinations,

27:24bombings of transport

27:25and infrastructure,

27:27as well as strikes

27:28against British military

27:29and administrative targets.

27:31Notable incidents

27:33include the 1946 bombing

27:35of the King David Hotel,

27:37which resulted in 91 deaths,

27:39including 28 British citizens,

27:42and a series of attacks

27:44in 1947

27:45that caused numerous casualties

27:47among British,

27:49Arab

27:49and Jewish populations.

27:52However,

27:54the horrific events

27:55of the Holocaust

27:56during World War II

27:57intensified the urgency

27:59of the Zionist quest

28:01for a sovereign Jewish state.

28:03The genocide

28:04of six million Jews

28:05by Nazi Germany

28:07galvanized international sympathy

28:09and support

28:10for the Jewish cause.

28:13In 1947,

28:15the United Nations

28:16approved a plan

28:18to partition Palestine

28:19into separate Jewish

28:21and Arab states.

28:23Despite Arab rejection

28:24of the plan,

28:26in 1948,

28:27the State of Israel

28:28declared independence.

28:30The declaration

28:31sparked a war

28:32with neighboring Arab countries

28:34known as

28:35the War of Independence

28:36or the Arab-Israeli War.

28:39In the ensuing decades,

28:40Israel found itself

28:42embroiled

28:42in a series of conflicts

28:44with its neighbors,

28:45including the Suez Crisis

28:47in 1956,

28:49the Six-Day War

28:50in 1967,

28:51and the Yom Kippur War

28:53in 1973.

28:55Despite its military victories,

28:57the quest for a lasting peace

28:59proved elusive.

29:01The 1990s brought hope

29:03with the Oslo Accords

29:04between Israel

29:05and the Palestine

29:06Liberation Organization,

29:08yet lasting peace

29:10remained out of reach.

29:12The turn of the century

29:13saw continued conflict,

29:15alongside efforts

29:16at dialogue and negotiation.

29:18The Israeli-Palestinian conflict

29:20continues to present

29:22substantial challenges,

29:23primarily due to

29:25the ongoing occupation

29:26and expansion

29:28of settlements

29:28in the West Bank.

29:32That wraps up

29:34our exploration

29:35of a rich

29:35and complex history.
