Jerusalem 1967: The Six-Day War and a City Reunited
In June 1967, Israeli paratroopers fought through the alleys of the Old City and reached the Western Wall for the first time in nineteen years. This episode of The History of Jerusalem traces the 1967 Six-Day War's impact on the city, from the tense pre-war atmosphere and Jordanian occupation of East Jerusalem to the lightning Israeli campaign that captured the Old City, the Temple Mount, and the West Bank. We discuss the key figures like Moshe Dayan, Uzi Narkiss, and King Hussein, the controversial decision to demolish the Mughrabi Quarter, and the immediate aftermath including the reunification and the fraught question of sovereignty over the Haram al-Sharif. Lucas and Luna explore how this single week transformed Jerusalem's physical and political landscape, setting the stage for decades of conflict and negotiation.
