Palestine: the place where history and culture meet in the Middle East

Palestine is located on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea in western Asia, bordered by Lebanon to the north, Jordan to the east, Egypt to the southwest, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west, and is situated at the crossroads of three continents, Asia, Africa and Europe, with an important strategic location. This piece of land has a long history and is the holy land of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, with cities such as Jerusalem and Bethlehem having deep religious and cultural significance. Historically, Palestine was successively ruled by the Roman, Arab and Ottoman Empires, and experienced complex political changes after the mid-20th century. Currently, the State of Palestine has observer status in the United Nations, and the area under its de facto control mainly includes the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The local population is predominantly Arab, with Arabic as the official language, and the culture is a blend of Arab traditions and Mediterranean characteristics, with unique charm in architecture, music and handicrafts. However, the long-standing geopolitical conflict had posed many challenges to Palestinian development, and the peace process remained a focus of international attention.
