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, leading to its occupation of the West Bank. In response, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 242, calling for Israel's withdrawal from occupied territories. Today, Türkiye, the Arab League, and the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation condemn Israel's actions, complicating the pursuit of a two-state solution.
