History

Historical Context

The Six-Day War, fought from June 5 to June 10, 1967, saw Israel capture significant territories, including the West Bank and Gaza Strip, amid escalating tensions with Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. This conflict displaced approximately 300,000 Palestinians, intensifying the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. The establishment of settlements in these areas has led to ongoing humanitarian issues and international calls for renewed peace efforts.
