1967 Borders

The 1967 borders refer to the internationally recognized lines that predate the Naksa - 1967 offensive by the Zionist regime that lasted 6 days. Before 1967, these borders were meant to give Palestinians statehood and included Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem. After the Naksa, "Israel" illegally occupied Gaza and the West Bank and fully annexed East Jerusalem as their own. This allowed settlers to build settlements in both Gaza and the West Bank illegally. The IOF retreated from Gaza in 2005, demolishing all settlements. However, the West Bank has continued to see growth of illegal settlements, and since October 7, 2023, they have vowed to continue annexing and expanding settlements in the West Bank.
