What is the 1967 war?

The 1967 Six Day War was a pivotal conflict where Israel fought against Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. Israel achieved a decisive victory, capturing territories like the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and Golan Heights. Netanyahu's reference to favourable press coverage from this era highlights a perceived shift in international media's portrayal of Israel, contrasting it with current reporting.
