The government of Israel primarily responded to the Second Intifada by halting peace talks and reoccupying Palestinian areas. The Second Intifada, which began in September 2000, was marked by increased violence and conflict, leading the Israeli government to take military actions in Palestinian territories as a means of addressing security concerns. While some measures like establishing a blockade along the Gaza Strip were also implemented later, the immediate and defining response to the Second Intifada was the military reoccupation of certain areas and a significant pause in peace negotiations.
