Following the Six-Day War of 1967, when Israeli forces claimed victory over the Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, the Old City of Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights; the United Nations passed Resolution 242, calling for lasting peace in exchange for Israel’s withdrawal from captured territories. However, Resolution 242 did not explicitly require Israel to withdraw from its captured territories, and they began to expand Jerusalem’s municipal borders, taking in large areas of open land. They restricted the boundaries of Palestinian neighborhoods en masse, limiting the growth of Palestinian communities. Since that time, Palestinians have been systemically disenfranchised. The Israeli legal landscape has imposed a permit regime over Palestinians living in and around the West Bank, which, according to a report by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, was home to some 2.9 million people as of 2019.
