36 years, and still counting
1967 - The first public statement, about two months
after the Six Day War, by defense minister Moshe
Dayan, regarding the future of the territories:
"Israel will hold onto them until peace agreements
are signed." Deputy prime minister Yigal Alon
presents the government with his plan for a
solution to the conflict, based on the premise
that Israel's eastern border will be the Jordan
River; the Palestinians in the West Bank will be
granted autonomy.




The settlers waste no time and
by the end of September
establish the first settlement
- the re-establishment of Kfar
Etzion, which was abandoned in
the War of Independence. Toward
the end of that year the United
Nations Security Council adopts
Resolution 242: a call for
peace "in secure and recognized

boundaries" and Israel's withdrawal from
territories captured in the Six Day War. At the
same time the Movement for Greater Israel is
founded in Israel, with a goal that is slightly
different than that expressed by the language
of the UN resolution: "The settlement of all
parts of Israel that were liberated."
