Historical Context

The Six-Day War from June 5-10, 1967, transformed the Middle East's geopolitical landscape as Israel fought Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, capturing the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights. The conflict displaced approximately 300,000 Palestinians, intensifying Israeli-Palestinian tensions. Ongoing military actions reflect a persistent struggle for control, underscoring the unresolved complexities of peace in the region.
