[[File:6DayWarEnglish.png|thumb|upright|During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel captured the [[West Bank]], the [[Gaza Strip]], the [[Golan Heights]] and the [[Sinai Peninsula]]. Each of these territories except the Sinai remain under [[Israeli-occupied territories|Israeli occupation]].]]

In the [[Six day war|1967 Arab-Israel War]], Israel occupied the Palestinian West Bank, East Jerusalem, Gaza Strip, Egyptian Sinai, Syrian Golan Heights, and two islands in the [[Gulf of Aqaba]].

The war exerted a significant effect upon Palestinian nationalism, as the PLO was unable to establish any control on the ground and ultimately established its headquarters in Jordan, from where it supported the Jordanian army during the [[War of Attrition]]. However, the Palestinian base in Jordan collapsed with the [[Black September in Jordan|Jordanian–Palestinian civil war]] in 1970, after which the PLO was forced to relocate to South Lebanon.

In the mid-1970s, the international community converged on a framework to resolve the conflict through the establishment of an independent Palestinian state in the West Bank and Gaza. This "[[land for peace]]" proposal was endorsed by the [[ICJ]] and [[UN]].<ref>{{cite book |first=Colter |last=Louwerse |editor-last=Stern-Weiner |editor-first=Jamie |title=Deluge |publisher=OR Books |year=2024 |isbn=978-1-68219-619-9 |quote=During the June 1967 Arab-Israel War, Israel came into military occupation of the Palestinian West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip. (Israel also occupied the Egyptian Sinai, Syrian Golan Heights, and two islands in the Gulf of Aqaba.) Already by the mid-1970s, the international community converged on a framework for resolving the festering conflict. This framework comprised two elements rooted in fundamental principles of international law. The first called for Israel's full withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian and other Arab territories in exchange for Palestinian-Arab recognition of Israel. The second called for establishing an independent State of Palestine on the Palestinian territories from which Israel would withdraw, i.e., the West Bank and Gaza, as well as a "just resolution" of the Palestinian refugee question.10 Land for peace and Palestinian self-determination secured through a two-state settlement: these principles for a reasonable if imperfect resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict were eventually endorsed by an overwhelming consensus at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), in the political organs of the United Nations (UN), and of respected human rights organizations.}}</ref>
