Village in Israel and Palestine – level 1

30-07-2019 07:00

Israel and Palestine are two countries in the Middle East. They are not friends. Both countries want land. The countries cannot agree which land is Israel’s and which land is Palestine’s.

Recently, Israel starts to destroy part of a Palestinian village. However, official documents say that this village is part of Palestine.

Israeli leaders say that the buildings are too close to a security border. They say that no one lives in them. They say that terrorists can use the buildings.

Palestinians say that Israel wants the land. They say that the demolition is a crime. They ask for help from other countries.

Difficult words: agree (when two countries are both happy with something), security border (a line between two countries with a wall), demolition (destroying something, getting rid of something).
You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
