Israel won the war, which has had huge effects on the future of the [[Middle East]]. Israel has occupied Arab areas, such as the [[West Bank]] and the [[Gaza Strip]], ever since. That has helped cause many wars between it and the neighboring countries and has led to the exile of many [[Palestinian people|Palestinians]]. == Background == After the [[World War I]], [[Zionism|Zionist]] ideals started to become a reality. [[Jew|Jews]] from [[Europe]] started moving to [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] in the 1920s, when the territory was still under the [[British Mandate of Palestine|British mandate]]. The migration led to conflict with the native [[Arab people|Arabs]]. The foundation of the [[Israel|State of Israel]] in 1948 was not recognized by the Arab states. Following the [[Declaration of independence|decleration of independence]], [[Egypt]], along with 5 other arab countries, declared war one the [[Jew|Jewish]] state go to war in 1948 and 1949 and become Israel's main enemy. The [[Suez Crisis]] in 1956 established a [[Geopolitics|geopolitical]] situation that failed to solve the problems in the area. The crisis made the [[United Nations]] send troops to the [[Sinai Peninsula]] to maintain the peace between Egypt and Israel. The coming to power of the [[Ba'ath Party|Baa'th Party]] in Syria in 1963; the establishment of the [[Palestine Liberation Organization|Palestinian Liberation Organization]] in 1964; and the alliance of Syria, Egypt, and Jordan in 1966 contributed to the rise of tensions, which eventually led to the war.
