Every major attempt to resolve it has run into the same problem: the core issues are deeply intertwined, emotionally charged, and shaped by memories of loss and fear on both sides. Power imbalances, regional politics, and global interests only add to the deadlock. This is why the conflict remains so resistant to quick solutions and why any honest discussion has to begin with realism rather than wishful ...
