On June 7, 1967, during the Six-Day War, Israeli forces captured East Jerusalem from Jordan. This battle was part of Israels broader military campaign to gain control over disputed territories. The capture of Jerusalem had profound religious and political implications, as the city holds significance for Jews, Christians, and Muslims. The war ended with a ceasefire, but the Israeli occupation of Jerusalem has remained a point of contention in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The status of Jerusalem continues to be a sensitive and unresolved issue in peace negotiations.
