๐ Hello there, history enthusiast! ๐ Ready to dive into the whirlwind of UN Resolution 242? We've got your back! Here's your personal guide to understanding it, in a fun and easy way. Grab your favorite snack and let's get started!
In November 1967, the big guns at the UN decided that there was a need for peace in the Middle East. So, they passed a resolution, creatively named "Resolution 242."
Let's break it down
Israel's Side
"Time to move your troops!" – The resolution asked Israeli armed forces to step back from areas they recently occupied.
Real-world example: Imagine you borrowed your friend's hoodie without asking. Now, the class teacher asks you to return it. That’s Israel returning the territories!
Arab's Side
Arabs: They got a thumbs-up on the land issue. Basically, the UN said, "You're right, the land should be returned."
Israel: They got the green light on peace and security. It's like telling someone, "You deserve to feel safe and sound."
Fun Fact! ๐ Egypt and Jordan gave the resolution a nod and said, "Alright, Israel, you can exist!" But, Israel pointed out the 'three noes' from an Arab conference in August, as their way of saying, "Do you really want peace, though?" Eventually, Israel too came on board with the resolution.
