History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War, fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel achieve a decisive victory over Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, resulting in significant territorial gains, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The aftermath led to UN Resolution 242, which called for Israeli withdrawal and recognition of all states' rights. These historical tensions continue to influence U.S. foreign policy and regional stability discussions today.
