Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

  1. 1

    What did the United Nations call for in Resolution 242 in November 1967?

    Model answer

    Israeli withdrawal from land taken in the fighting, in exchange for every state in the region being recognised and left to live in peace within secure borders.

  2. 2

    Why did the wording of Resolution 242 settle nothing?

    Model answer

    It spoke of withdrawal from territories rather than from all of them, so Israel argued it need not give everything back.

  3. 3

    What did the Arab leaders agree at Khartoum in the autumn of 1967?

    Model answer

    The three no's: no peace with Israel, no recognition of it and no negotiation with it.

  4. 4

    What happened to the Suez Canal after June 1967?

    Model answer

    It was closed to all shipping for eight years and became the front line, with Israeli troops dug in on the eastern bank and Egyptians on the western.

  5. 5

    What was the War of Attrition?

    Model answer

    Egyptian shelling and raids across the canal from 1969 to 1970 meant to wear Israel down, answered by Israeli air raids deep inside Egypt before a ceasefire.

  6. 6

    How many Palestinians were displaced by the fighting of 1967?

    Model answer

    About 300,000 fled, mostly into Jordan, and many of them were becoming refugees for the second time.
