History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War from June 5-10, 1967, marked a pivotal moment in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as Israel fought Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, resulting in its occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. This war displaced around 300,000 Palestinians, exacerbating tensions that persist today, as seen in recent violence in Qusra and Qalandia, driven by far-right settler groups exploiting historical grievances.
