By halting peace talks and reoccupying Palestinian areas.

Explanation:

On Sept. 28, 2000, Ariel Sharon showed up with more than 1,000 Israeli police at Al Aqsa mosque complex in Jerusalem's Old City. The Second Intifada, popularly known as the Al-Aqsa Intifada, thus began as a result of Israeli occupation policies that continued not only to violate international law but also to deprive Palestinians of their fundamental human rights including the right to free access to Jerusalem, security and development, and the refugees' right to return.
