David Rubinger's photograph of paratroopers at the Western Wall in 1967 marks the start of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. Yitzhak Yifat, a key figure in the photograph, later expressed regret about the conquest and recognized the challenges to achieving real peace. Israel's current military actions in Gaza, led by Netanyahu, suggest a return to open-ended occupation without acknowledging international legal obligations. Critics view this approach as reckless and likely to perpetuate conflict rather than foster peace and self-determination for Palestinians.
David Rubinger's iconic photograph of paratroopers at the Western Wall symbolizes the beginning of the Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories in 1967.
Yitzhak Yifat reflected on the implications of the conquest in 2017, stating that the results of the war were bad and that they had conquered another people.
Netanyahu suggests an open-ended occupation of Gaza until Hamas is replaced, raising concerns of perpetual conflict instead of achieving peace.
Critics argue that Israel's ongoing control over Gaza serves as a reckless continuation of a failed approach to achieve true peace in the region.
