The Hamas Document of General Principles
2017
Hamas issues a second founding text that defines Palestine in national rather than religious terms, separates Zionism from Judaism, and names a state on the 1967 lines as a formula of national consensus — without recognising Israel.
The Six-Day War
1967
Israel captures the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza, Sinai, and the Golan Heights in six days, beginning a military occupation that continues to this day.
UN Security Council Resolution 242
1967
Adopted unanimously on 22 November 1967, resolution 242 emphasised the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war and called for withdrawal from territories occupied in the recent conflict. It mentioned Palestinians only once, as a refugee problem.
Bayt Nuba
Ramla · 1967
Bayt Nuba was the third of the Latrun villages, with Imwas and Yalu. Israeli forces took the salient in the first hours of the June 1967 war; that night the inhabitants of all three villages — some 12,000 people — were ordered out, and the built-up area of Bayt Nuba was afterwards destroyed by military demolition. Mevo Horon was established on its lands in 1970, and the site lies within Canada Park.
Imwas
Ramla · 1967
Imwas, widely identified with the biblical Emmaus, survived two thousand years of empires before Israeli forces expelled its residents and bulldozed the village in June 1967. Its site lies inside Canada Park, beside the ruins of Emmaus Nicopolis.
Yalo
Ramla · 1967
Yalo stood in the Latrun salient on the road from Ramla to Jerusalem until June 1967, when its people were expelled and the village bulldozed together with Imwas and Bayt Nuba. Its lands now lie inside Canada Park, planted over the ruins.
Jerash Camp (Gaza Camp)
Jerash, Jordan
Built in March 1968 for 11,500 Palestinians driven out of Gaza in the June war, Jerash camp is known in Jordan simply as the Gaza Camp. Nearly nine in ten of its residents come from the Gaza Strip — and unlike other Palestinians in Jordan, they hold no citizenship, which has made it the poorest camp in the kingdom.
Jerusalem
Jerusalem Governorate
Jerusalem — al-Quds — is the city Palestinians measure all distance from: holy to three faiths, capital in memory and aspiration, and since 1967 the hardest fault line of the conflict, from the walls of the Old City to the threatened homes of Sheikh Jarrah.
Kufr 'Aqab
Jerusalem Governorate, occupied East Jerusalem
The last Jerusalem address before Ramallah, and the clearest thing the wall ever said. All of Kufr 'Aqab lies inside the municipal boundary Israel declared in 1967; the barrier leaves 92 per cent of it outside. Building inspectors have not entered since 2005, and by 2012 the neighbourhood accounted for 83 per cent of all new construction in the whole city of Jerusalem.
Qalqilya
West Bank
Qalqilya, the orange-growing market town at the western edge of the West Bank, was gutted in 1967 and rebuilt by its returning people; since 2003 the separation wall has closed around it on three sides, leaving a whole city a single gate.
Shu'fat
Jerusalem Governorate, occupied East Jerusalem
A village on the ridge north of Jerusalem, on the Ramallah road, swept inside the municipal boundary Israel declared in 1967 — and then cut in half by the wall. Shu'fat holds the only refugee camp inside that boundary: 16,419 registered refugees on 0.203 square kilometres, holding Jerusalem residency, paying Jerusalem taxes, and crossing a checkpoint to reach the city they legally live in.
Abdullah Nashwan
al-Dawayima, Hebron district
Eleven years old when his family fled the massacre at al-Dawayima in October 1948; displaced again in 1967, he has lived in Jordan's Baqa'a camp since.
Ahmad Abughoush
Imwas, Latrun
Expelled from Imwas at fourteen during the 1967 war, he describes his family's flight on foot to Ramallah before Israeli bulldozers razed the village and Canada Park was planted over its ruins.
A Mountainous Journey: A Poet's Autobiography
Fadwa Tuqan · 1990
The autobiography of the poet of Nablus — a girl pulled out of school by the constraints of her own society, taught poetry at home by her brother, and turned by 1967 into the voice of a country.
Returning to Haifa
Ghassan Kanafani · 1969
A Palestinian couple return to their Haifa home after 1967 and find their son — raised as an Israeli soldier — behind its door.
Wild Thorns
Sahar Khalifeh · 1976
The first Arabic novel to show everyday life under the occupation from inside it — a fighter comes home to Nablus to find his own people adjusted to the thing he came to blow up.
The Arab Nationalist Movement
ANM · founded 1951
Founded by medical students at the American University of Beirut who had watched their own towns emptied in 1948, on the premise that Arab unity was the road to the liberation of Palestine. Its Palestine Section became, after the defeat of June 1967, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine
PFLP · founded 11 December 1967
Formed six months after the June 1967 defeat from the Palestine Section of the Arab Nationalist Movement, and turned Marxist at its second congress in February 1969. Its spokesman was the novelist Ghassan Kanafani; its external operations branch made the hijacking a global symbol, and its own leadership voted in 1970 to stop them.
East Jerusalem
geography
The eastern part of Jerusalem, including the Old City and its holy sites, occupied by Israel in 1967 and unilaterally annexed in 1980 — an annexation not recognized internationally, with the UN Security Council and the International Court of Justice treating it as occupied Palestinian territory.
Green Line
geography
The Green Line is the armistice demarcation line fixed by the 1949 agreements between Israel and its Arab neighbors, named for the green ink used to draw it on the map; it served as Israel's de facto boundary until June 1967 and remains the internationally recognized reference for the occupied Palestinian territory.
Military Order 101
legal
An August 1967 Israeli military order that bans political gatherings, processions, and publications — including the display of flags and political symbols — in the occupied West Bank without prior permission from the military commander.
Naksa
history
The Naksa — Arabic for 'setback' — is the term used across the Arab world for the defeat of June 1967, when Israel occupied the West Bank including East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, and Syria's Golan Heights, and several hundred thousand Palestinians were newly displaced.
Settlement
legal
Settlements are the residential communities Israel has built for its citizens in the territories occupied in 1967. Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibits an occupying power from transferring parts of its own civilian population into occupied territory, and the UN Security Council has affirmed that the settlements have 'no legal validity.'
The 1967 war was purely defensive — Israel had no choice
security
Israel's own senior leaders later said otherwise on the record: Prime Minister Begin listed 1967 among Israel's wars of choice and admitted 'we decided to attack him,' and Chief of Staff Rabin said of Nasser, 'I do not think Nasser wanted war... He knew it and we knew it.'
The Palestinians never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity — they always reject peace
history
The Palestine National Council accepted Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 and declared Palestinian statehood on 15 November 1988, an offer to settle on 22 per cent of historic Palestine; the Arab Peace Initiative of 28 March 2002 offered Israel, from every Arab state, an end to the conflict and 'normal relations' in exchange for withdrawal to the 1967 lines, a Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, and a 'just and agreed solution to the Palestine refugee problem in accordance with United Nations General Assembly resolution 194 (III).' Both stood unanswered. Meanwhile the settler population Israel maintains in the occupied territory reached about 465,000 in the West Bank and 230,000 in East Jerusalem by 2023.

The Special Rapporteur's report to the Human Rights Council's 55th session concluding that there are reasonable grounds to believe the threshold indicating the commission of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza has been met.
UN Special Rapporteur on the occupied Palestinian territories — Human Rights Council mandate
Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights
