For people with almost (or absolutely) no contextual exposure to this conflict, can people recommend good sources to understand more about it and its history?

My personal preference would be for book sources, and if it's a case of "no unbiased account", then book sources from both sides of the conflict.

I learnt about the conflict at school using this textbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-International-History-Confl...

I found it quite good, however looking it up now I see there have been complaints about it: https://5pillarsuk.com/2020/09/10/middle-east-history-textbo...

I will say my even though my History teacher taught it without any visible bias, I got the impression she was more on the Palestinian side (as was most of my class).
