RAMALLAH/GAZA, Jun 6 (NNN-WAFA) – Palestinians yesterday, commemorated the 55th anniversary of the Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbours, on Jun 5-10, 1967.
Israel swept to victory over its Arab neighbours in the war, also known as the Third Arab-Israeli War, and took control of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Palestinian Prime Minister, Mohammed Ishtaye said, in an official press statement that, after 55 years of occupation, the Palestinians “are more steadfast, stick to their land and face the Israeli occupation with full determination.”
“The Palestinian people are determined to thwart all the Israeli plans to erase their presence and end their national identity,” Ishtaye said.
Direct peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians reached a deadlock in 2014, following deep disputes on Israeli settlements and establishing a Palestinian state on the 1967 borders.– NNN-WAFA
