The Six-Day War of 1967, triggered by Israel's preemptive strike in response to Arab neighbors' mobilization for war, reshaped Middle East dynamics profoundly. Beginning on June 5 and concluding by June 10, Israel swiftly defeated Egypt, Jordan, and Syria, capturing the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank, Old City of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. This war tripled Israel's territory and led to U.N. Resolution 242, a cornerstone of subsequent peace proposals in the Arab-Israeli conflict spanning over five decades. The status of these territories remains a contentious issue in Israeli domestic politics and Arab-Israeli relations. Historian Ralph Nurnberger will explore the roots and lesser-known events preceding the war, along with its lasting impact on the Middle East's geopolitical landscape. "He is extremely knowledgeable and his sense of humor makes his programs very interesting. I wish that I had history professors like him when I was in college."- OLLI Patron
