simply, as "the Setback." Never has a conflict so short, unforeseen, and largely unwanted by both
sides so transformed the world. The Yom Kippur War, the war in Lebanon, the Camp David accords,
the controversy over Jerusalem and Jewish settlements in West Bank, the intifada, and the rise of
Palestinian terror are all part of the outcome of those six days of intense Arab-Israeli fighting in the
summer of 1967.
