Israel possesses the holy land of Palestine, which is where the basis of the country is situated. In addition, Israel occupies the land of the State of Palestine, a neighbor who has been conflicting with Israel since Israel's formation in 1948.
The British Mandate of Palestine mostly became the Jewish State of Israel after World War II on account of the passage of UN Resolution 181, helped in no small measure by the sympathy for the Jews garnered because of the Holocaust. This was done so because Palestine is very holy to the Jews, among Christians and Muslims as well, and is described as the God given land to the Jews in the Torah.
