Well if your question is "what happens when a river overflows its banks" Then my answer is simple, it floods. A river overflows when extra or excessive water is added e.g. prolonged percipitation(rainfall). Or another case would be pressure added in a section of the river causing the eureka theory and the water level will rise causing an overflow. This simply leads to a flooding of the surrounding area ,depending on the volume of water and the terrain surrounding determines the spread of flooding.

Which river causes conflicts among Jews and Arabs?
There is no river per se that causes Israeli-Palestinian or Israel-Arab conflict. Fresh water in general is hard to find in the Middle East and the allocation of that water is hotly contested. There have Israeli-Syrian conflicts over the Sea of Galilee (Yam Kinerret or Bahria Tabiria), which is a freshwater lake. There have been conflicts over underground aquifers along the 1949 borders of Israel and the West Bank. There have also been occasional skirmish between Israel and Jordan or Israel and the West Bank over the Jordan River, but as the Jordan does not carry a lot of water, such conflicts have been minimal compared to the other two conflicts mentioned.
