2027 Palestinian Conflict

The 2027 Palestinian Conflict was an armed conflict between Israel and the Palestinian Republic. The war broke out following illegal settling of Palestinian territory by Israeli religious Zionists.

Conflict
For several months, settlers, funded by the Sharon administration's government illegally crossed the Israeli-Palestinian borders to construct settlements. Minor armed conflicts broke out between Palestinians and Israelis in the established villages. Israeli Defense Forces were sent to protect the settlers from Palestinian attacks. The illegal border crossing forced the Palestinian Army to send troops to protect Palestinians from IDF troops. By the end of April 2007, 25 settlers and 78 Palestinians were killed. On May 3rd, Palestine declared war on Israel for illegally violating their borders with settlements and later IDF troops. At war's start, 107 Palestinians had been killed. Palestine began shelling the Israeli settlements, killing over 200 settlers and 30 IDF soldiers. Israel retaliated and sent in troops, tanks and began air strikes on Palestine. The battles continued on the border for two weeks before Israeli forces pushed into Palestine. Palestine deployed all of its troops in June, numbering over 100,000 army soldiers. They managed to fight through the air strikes. By July, Israel was forced to withdraw as the Union of Everett and Iraqistan agreed to suspend it from the Security Alliance and Iraqistani peacekeeping troops were deployed into Palestine. Iraqistani fighters also attempted to maintain a no fly zone over Palestine and Israeli Jordan. On July 16, Israel ordered a withdrawl and abandoned its government sanctioned settlements. In the end, 400 settlers were killed and another 25 dead in Jerusalem from Israeli-Palestinian violence. 1,200 Palestinians were killed from Israeli air attacks.

Repercussions
During the last half of the war, the Union of Everett and Iraqistan agreed to suspend Israel from the Security Alliance for violating the Palestinian territory. The suspension lasted until 2028 when President Larry Sharon was impeached for his actions by the legislature. The New Israel Liberty Party only held 40% of the seats but the Zionist party was forced to impeach their own leader to cover up their actions and out of shame. With most of the Congress and Senate in agreement, President Sharon was impeached. Israel also faced sanctions in the United Nations and Arab League condemnation. The Union of Everett was the only nation to veto UN sanctions. New Israel Liberty Party's President Rachael Ivry was elected President of Israel in 2028 and she announced she would pursue criminal charges against the previous administration. With success in that action, Israel was allowed back into the Security Alliance. Former President Larry Sharon and over two dozen members of his administration and military command were found guilty on crimes of corruption, conspiracy, war crimes and human rights violations and many were sentenced to life imprisonment while three were given the death penalty.
