History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War from June 5-10, 1967, saw Israel capture the West Bank and Gaza Strip, displacing approximately 300,000 Palestinians. This conflict stemmed from escalating tensions following the 1956 Suez Crisis and deteriorating relations with Arab states. The ongoing violence, including recent attacks by Israeli settlers in Humsa, reflects a persistent cycle of conflict that continues to affect humanitarian conditions for Palestinians today.
