Synopsis

From the Earliest Human Settlements to the Contemporary Conflict

The history of Palestine spans more than ten millennia and stands at the intersection of civilization, religion, empire, and geopolitics. Few regions have shaped—and been shaped by—so many cultures, faiths, and competing historical narratives.
In this extensively revised Second Edition, Dr. Mohammed Hasan Omar presents a continuous historical account of Palestine from the earliest human settlements through the rise of ancient civilizations, the biblical period, the Greek and Roman eras, Islamic rule, the Crusades, the Ottoman Empire, the British Mandate, the Arab-Israeli conflict, the Oslo process, and the Gaza War of 2023–2026.
Rather than focusing solely on modern political events, this book places today's conflict within its broader historical context, showing how geography, archaeology, religion, migration, diplomacy, and international politics have interacted across thousands of years.
The volume includes:
• A continuous historical narrative spanning approximately 12,000 years
• More than 30 historical maps, timelines, and statistical tables
• Archaeological and historical evidence from ancient to modern times
• Analysis of regional and international geopolitical developments
• Coverage of the Gaza War and its aftermath through July 2026
• Discussion of international humanitarian law and legal proceedings
• A comprehensive statistical appendix
• A detailed historical chronology
• An extensive bibliography representing diverse scholarly perspectives
One distinctive feature of this edition is Appendix A, which examines competing scholarly interpretations concerning the geography of the Torah and evaluates the historical, geographical, archaeological, and linguistic evidence surrounding this longstanding debate.
Written in an objective and accessible style, this work is intended for students, researchers, policymakers, and general readers seeking a deeper understanding of one of the world's most historically significant and politically complex regions.
Whether approaching Palestine from the perspectives of history, archaeology, religion, or international relations, readers will find a carefully researched resource designed to encourage informed study and thoughtful reflection.
