Sample passage:
In June 1967, Israeli forces struck targets in Egypt, Jordan, and Syria in response to Egyptian President Nasserâ€™s ordered withdrawal of UN peacekeepers from the Sinai Peninsula and the buildup of Arab armies along Israelâ€™s borders. After six days, all parties agreed to a ceasefire, under which Israel retained control of the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the Gaza Strip, the formerly Jordanian-controlled West Bank of the Jordan River, and East Jerusalem. On November 22, 1967, the Security Council adopted Resolution 242, the â€œland for peaceâ€ formula, which called for the establishment of a just and lasting peace based on Israeli withdrawal from territories occupied in 1967 in return for the end of all states of belligerency, respect for the sovereignty of all states in the area, and the right to live in peace within secure, recognized boundaries.
