Jerusalem 1967: The Unification and Its Aftermath
In June 1967, the Six-Day War transformed Jerusalem overnight. Israeli paratroopers reached the Western Wall for the first time since 1948, and the city was unified under Israeli control. But this episode isn't just about the military conquest—it's about the immediate aftermath: the destruction of the Mughrabi Quarter to create a plaza before the Kotel, the negotiations over the Haram al-Sharif, and the decision to annex East Jerusalem. We explore the competing visions of Moshe Dayan, Teddy Kollek, and the Waqf, and how the status quo on the Temple Mount was established—a fragile arrangement that holds to this day. We also consider the human cost: 20,000 Palestinian refugees displaced from the Old City and the long shadow of occupation. This is a story of triumph, trauma, and the impossible politics of a holy city.
