What two groups are in conflict with the middle east?

* Israelis and Palestinians. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a decades-old dispute over land and political rights in the Middle East. The conflict has its roots in the aftermath of World War I, when the British took control of the region from the Ottoman Empire. The British then split the region into two territories: Palestine and Transjordan. Palestine was eventually divided into two parts: the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The West Bank is currently occupied by Israel, while the Gaza Strip is controlled by the Palestinian Hamas movement.

* Sunni and Shia Muslims. The Sunni-Shia conflict is a religious conflict between two branches of Islam. Sunnis are the majority group in the Muslim world, while Shiites are a minority. The conflict has its roots in a dispute over who should succeed the Prophet Muhammad as the leader of the Muslim community. The conflict has been exacerbated by political and economic factors, and has led to violence in many parts of the Middle East.
