History

Historical Context

United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, adopted on November 22, 1967, called for Israel's withdrawal from territories occupied during the Six-Day War, emphasizing peace and security in the Middle East. Supported by major powers like the U.S. and the Soviet Union, this resolution laid the groundwork for future negotiations, including the Oslo Accords, and continues to influence contemporary efforts to stabilize Gaza and resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
