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 the need for peace and security in the Middle East. Despite its significance in shaping future negotiations, including peace treaties with Egypt in 1979 and Jordan in 1994, skepticism remains regarding the effectiveness of ongoing initiatives like the 'Board of Peace' in resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
