The Six-Day War also known as the June War, 1967 Arab–Israeli War, or Third Arab–Israeli War was fought between 5 and 10 June in 1967.

It involved Israel and its neighbouring countries of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Israel invaded and occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and the Golan Heights.

Israel has never returned any of the lands it stole during the invasion despite calls from the International community.

Since then Israel has been building illegal settlements in the West Bank and Gaza, something that has enraged the Palestinians and the surrounding Arab countries and years of violence, where the UN has accused the Jewish nation of crimes against humanity.
