1967 War
resolution of the
United Nations (UN) Security Council passed in an effort to secure a just
and lasting peace in the wake of the Six-Day War of 1967, fought
primarily between Israel and Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.
It condemned the Israeli invasion and refused to acknowledge Jerusalem
as the Israeli capital.
The Israelis supported the resolution because it called on the Arab states
to accept Israels right to live in peace within secure and recognized
boundaries free from threats or acts of force. Israel interpreted the
open-ended language to mean that they could keep nearly all the
Occupied Territories as essential to maintaining secure borders.
Palestinians denounced the resolution because it made no mention of a
Palestinian state. Each of the Arab states eventually accepted it (Egypt
and Jordan accepted the resolution from the outset) because of its
clause calling for Israel to withdraw from the territories conquered in
The Intifada
The United
Nations took no
official steps to
end the Intifada.
Because the conflict did not
involve sovereign states the UN
considered the Intifada to be an
important but internal Israeli
affair.
Declaration of Principles
In 1993, those secret negotiations resulted in an agreement known as the
Declaration of Principles. This was agreed upon between the Palestinian Liberation
Organization and the Israeli government.
This general agreement was followed up by a formal and specific agreement in
1995. This one called for a gradual withdraw of Israelis from parts of the Occupied
Territories.
The final status of the Occupied Territories was left unresolved at this time.
