History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War from June 5-10, 1967, saw Israel clash with Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, resulting in Israel's occupation of the Gaza Strip, West Bank, and Golan Heights. This conflict displaced approximately 300,000 Palestinians, intensifying tensions with groups like Hamas. The ongoing disputes over territory and ceasefire violations continue to obstruct peace efforts, as highlighted by recent discussions between Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump.
