History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War from June 5-10, 1967, marked a pivotal moment in the Arab-Israeli conflict, as Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights. This occupation led to the settlement of over 400,000 Israelis in these territories, exacerbating tensions and violence. The ongoing cycle of retaliation and resistance continues to shape Israeli-Palestinian relations, drawing significant international scrutiny.
