Palestinians are marking the 57th anniversary of the Naksa, or the day of the setback — an annual observance of the 1967 Six-Day War between Israel and Arab armies.

Also known as the June War, it ended with Israel defeating the Arab armies and occupying the Palestine’s West Bank and Gaza, plus Egypt’s Sinai Peninsula and Syria’s Golan Heights.

The war ended with another massive displacement of Palestinians from their homeland following the Nakba, meaning “the Catastrophe,” in 1948, with an estimated 250,000 to 400,000 forcibly displaced.

Many UN resolutions demanding Israel’s withdrawal from the territories have failed as Israel maintains the occupation of all territories, except the Sinai Peninsula which it withdrew from in 1982 following a peace treaty with Egypt.

Israel’s current war on Gaza extends its decades-long objective of uprooting and exterminating Palestinians from their land. At least 36,550 Palestinians have been killed in the besieged enclave over nearly eight months and nearly all of the 2.2 million population has been displaced.
