History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War, fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel confront Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, resulting in Israel's occupation of the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights. This conflict intensified Christian Zionist support for Israel, with leaders like Jerry Falwell advocating for its divine backing.
