Depth study: Israelis and Palestinians since 1945 — IGCSE History (0977) questions by topic
Zionism's role in the 1948 conflict, the nature of Hezbollah, the significance of the First Intifada and the identity of the Stern Gang make up this compact depth study, requiring both factual identification and judgement on the causes of Arab-Israeli conflict.
How-far, identify and explain are the only command words tested, worth from 20 to 40 marks, across just 6 questions from the 2023 papers. Because this is the smallest set on the page, practise both the short identify-style facts and the longer how-far judgement equally, then use instant marking to check whether your explanation of significance stayed focused on the specific factor named in the question.
