History

Historical Context

In 1967, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 242, calling for Israel's withdrawal from territories occupied during the Six-Day War to achieve peace. This resolution laid the groundwork for future negotiations, including the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty in 1979. The recent establishment of a Gaza 'Board of Peace' and an international stabilization force reflects ongoing efforts to address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with mediator Bishara Bahbah playing a key role.
