Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The violence in Israel and Palestine is largely rooted in ethnic and territorial disputes and the control of land, with religious identity often exacerbating these tensions.

While religion plays a role in these tensions, it is primarily a secondary factor that exacerbates existing ethnic and territorial disputes.
