Question

The map given below relates to the Middle East states. Which war fought in 1967 is being indicated here? State any three consequences of this War.

Answer 1

The war indicated in the map is the Six-Day War (1967).

Three consequences of the Six-Day War are:

1. Israeli Territorial Gains: Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.
2. Escalation of Arab-Israeli Conflict: The war increased tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbours, resulting in more wars such as the Yom Kippur War (1973).
3. Displacement of Palestinians: The Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip resulted in the displacement of thousands of Palestinians and the development of Israeli settlements, which are now a major source of conflict in the region.
