Israel made peace with Egypt following the [[Camp David Accords]] of 1978 and completed a staged withdrawal from the Sinai in 1982. The position of the other [[Israeli-occupied territories|occupied territories]] has been a long-standing and bitter cause of conflict for decades between Israel and the Palestinians, and the Arab world in general. Jordan and Egypt eventually withdrew their claims to sovereignty over the West Bank and Gaza, respectively. Israel and Jordan signed a [[Israel–Jordan peace treaty|peace treaty in 1994]].<ref>Asher Susser, "Fifty Years since the Six-Day War," ''The RUSI Journal'' (2017) 162:3, 40-48, DOI: 10.1080/03071847.2017.1353270</ref>

After the Israeli occupation of these territories, the [[Gush Emunim]] movement launched a [[Israeli settlement|large settlement effort]] in these areas to secure a permanent foothold. There are now hundreds of thousands of Israeli settlers in the West Bank. They are a matter of controversy within Israel, both among the general population and within different political administrations, supporting them to varying degrees. Palestinians consider them a provocation. The Israeli settlements in Gaza were evacuated in August 2005 as a part of [[Israeli disengagement from Gaza|Israel's disengagement from Gaza]].<ref>Susser, "Fifty Years since the Six-Day War,"</ref><ref>Idith Zertal and Akiva Eldar, ''Lords of the Land: The War over Israel's Settlements in the Occupied Territories, 1967-2007'' (Nation Books, 2007), ch. 1.</ref>
