Demonstrations and repression in Jerusalem, war between paramilitary groups in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli army, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resurfaced last month (May 2021), after a time under the gaze of the media and out of sight chanceries.

This time, communal violence also erupted in several Israeli towns between Jews and Arabs, the descendants of Palestinians who remained in their land when Israel was created in 1948. On May 18, 2021, Palestinians in Israel participated in a strike general with the Palestinians of East Jerusalem and the West Bank to denounce the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian Territories.

An unprecedented movement in which these Israeli citizens who represent 20% of the country's population have reaffirmed a Palestinian identity.
