520    At the center of one of the world's most intractable 
       conflicts are a people who number fewer than 12 million 
       worldwide: the Palestinians. For centuries these people of
       Arab ancestry lived in the eastern Mediterranean region 
       known as Palestine or, because of its religious 
       significance, as the Holy Land. In 1948 a United Nations 
       plan to partition Palestine into Jewish and Arab states 
       led to what Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza 
       Strip areas under Israeli military rule. Since that time, 
       Palestinians and Israelis have been locked in bloody 
       conflict. The continued violence has prevented the 
       establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and 
       fueled unrest elsewhere in the Middle East.
