6 Day War
The 1967 Six-Day War began when Israel launched surprise air strikes against Egypt to preempt an imminent Egyptian attack. Israel quickly gained control of the Gaza Strip and Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria. Over 250,000 Palestinians fled or were displaced from the newly occupied territories. The war was another military defeat for the Arab states but strengthened Palestinian nationalism and turned many Palestinians to more radical groups like the PLO. The territorial changes from the war formed the basis of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Six Day War
The Six Day War began on June 5, 1967 when Israel launched a surprise air attack on Egyptian, Syrian and Jordanian air forces, destroying over 400 Arab planes. Within a few days, Israel gained control of the Gaza Strip, Sinai Peninsula, West Bank, and Golan Heights. This doubled Israel's size and weakened its Arab neighbors, who lost thousands of soldiers and hundreds of tanks. The war heightened tensions and displaced many Palestinians, placing the occupied territories under Israeli control.
The middle east notes 2013
1. The Middle East is a crossroads for three major religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - and key religious sites lie in Jerusalem, causing ongoing religious and territorial conflicts over the land of Israel and Palestine.
2. The ongoing conflict centers around disputes over land and control of territories like the West Bank and Gaza Strip following the establishment of Israel in 1948 and its occupation of additional territories in 1967.
3. Achieving peace in the region is challenging given the religious and cultural clashes between groups like Jews, Palestinians, and neighboring Arab countries over the past decades as well as ongoing territorial disputes and histories of violence and dictatorship.
1948 Arab–Israeli

It summarizes the key wars and peace accords over time, including the 1948 Arab-Israeli War of Independence, the 1967 Six Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War, and peace accords such as the 1979 Camp David Accords and the 1993 Oslo Accords. It notes that the status of Jerusalem and boundaries of a Palestinian state remain divisive issues with no permanent resolution yet.
Broader Arab nationalism in the Middle East after WW2 (Jordan)
Jordan was originally part of the Ottoman Empire but gained independence after World War 1 with support from Britain. Jordan played a role in the Arab revolt against the Turks in 1916. It was established as a British mandate in 1921 and became fully independent in 1946. King Abdullah I helped establish Jordan but was assassinated in 1951. His grandson King Hussein then took over leadership and modernized the country while maintaining relations with Western nations.
Arab israeli conflict
The document summarizes several key events in the Arab-Israeli conflict from 2000 to the present. It discusses the origins of the conflict over territorial disputes. It describes the importance of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, including Israeli withdrawal and settlements. Specific events covered include the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit in 2006, the 2006 Lebanon War between Israel and Hezbollah, an Israeli air strike on Syria in 2007, and the Gaza War of 2008 between Israel and Hamas.
Arab israeli conflict-1
The document summarizes the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict over land in Palestine. In the late 1800s, Jews fleeing persecution in Europe sought to establish a homeland in Palestine, the land they referred to as the "promised land." However, Palestine was already inhabited by Arab Palestinians. Tensions rose after World War I when Britain gained control over Palestine and facilitated Jewish immigration and settlement, disregarding the concerns of the native Arab population. After the Holocaust, more Jewish immigrants sought refuge in Palestine, fueling greater conflict over land and national identity. Subsequent wars and peace agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors have failed to produce a lasting resolution.

Palestine & Israel conflict
In the 19th century, Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire with a population that was around 4% Jewish, 8% Christian and majority Muslim. There was no conflict between religious communities. In the late 1800s, Jews faced persecution in Europe which led Britain to agree to establish a Jewish homeland in Palestine in 1917. After Britain gained control of Palestine in 1918, a new wave of Zionist immigration began and tensions rose between immigrants and Palestinians throughout the 1920s and 1930s over control of the land.

Thesis Proposal
This project proposal examines the impact of armed groups, specifically Hamas, on the liberation of Palestine from 2000 to 2014. The proposal outlines the background of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the formation of Palestinian resistance groups. It establishes three hypotheses: that Hamas is the most influential armed group in Palestine, that Hamas has contributed positively to liberating Palestine, and that Israeli concessions were due to Hamas resistance. The proposal aims to evaluate Hamas' role and impact on achieving an independent Palestinian state. It will analyze factors that aid or impede Hamas and examine how armed resistance has affected the conflict. The study will cover events from 2005 to 2015 using literature, reports, and internet sources to achieve its objectives.

Arab israeli conflict
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict began after World War I when the Ottoman Empire lost control of the Middle East and the land was divided. In 1947, the UN proposed dividing Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, which the Jews accepted but Arabs rejected. This led to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the establishment of Israel, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Subsequent wars in 1956, 1967 and 1973 further shaped the conflict over claims to the land. Peace efforts have continued unsuccessfully amid violence on both sides.
Israel
The Arab-Israeli conflict has its roots in the late 19th century with the rise of both Zionist and Arab nationalist movements. As a result, the Zionist movement was established in 1897 to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine. After World War I and the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, Britain was given control of Palestine and proposed splitting it into Jewish and Arab states, which both groups opposed. This led to the UN proposing in 1947 to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, which also led to conflict between the two sides and the establishment of Israel in 1948. Armed conflict has continued since between Israel and its Arab neighbors over issues such as Palestinian refugees, territorial control, and security concerns.

Arab israeli conflict
This document provides a summary of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the aftermath of World War 1 through the 2000s. It describes how the Ottoman Empire lost control of the Middle East after WWI and European powers divided the land. In 1947, the UN proposed dividing Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, but Arabs rejected the plan. Despite Arab opposition, Israel declared statehood in 1948 and defended itself during the subsequent war, expanding its territory. Ongoing tensions included the 1967 Six-Day War and 1973 Yom Kippur War. Some peace efforts occurred in the late 1970s and 1990s, but violence between Israel and Palestinian groups like Hamas and Hezbollah continued through the 2000s.
Middle East Conflict
The Arab-Israeli conflict began in the late 19th century with the rise of Zionism and calls for the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine. Tensions escalated after Britain assumed control of Palestine and issued the Balfour Declaration supporting a Jewish state. After the UN partition plan in 1947, war broke out as Arab states opposed the creation of Israel. The conflict has since involved multiple wars, uprisings, and diplomatic efforts towards a two-state solution, but the issues of settlements, Jerusalem status, and Palestinian refugees remain unresolved. Violence and terrorism on both sides continue to undermine peace negotiations.

arab-israeli_conflict- its background.ppt
The Jewish connection to Israel dates back 4,000 years according to sacred texts that tell the story of God commanding Abraham to leave Mesopotamia and go to what is now Israel. While Jews were forced out of Israel through persecution, they maintained their claim to the land. After World War I and the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Britain gained control over the region and the Jewish population increased through migration. In 1947, the UN proposed dividing the land into Jewish and Arab states, which Jews accepted but Arabs rejected, leading to war. Despite being outnumbered, Israel declared independence in 1948 and expanded its borders through further war. The conflict continues today between Israel and Palestinian groups seeking statehood.
