Hamas is the main political rival of Abbas, who oversees autonomous enclaves in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
"For that reason, in any agreement, and even without an agreement, we will maintain security control over the entire territory west of the Jordan River", he said. On May 30, King Ḥussein of Jordan arrived in Cairo to sign a mutual defense pact with Egypt, placing Jordanian forces under Egyptian command, and shortly after that Iraq joined the alliance. June 5 marks the beginning of the Six- Day War.
Israel's victory ended Jordanian control of the Old City of Jerusalem, and Jewish access to the Western Wall, the holiest site in Judaism. However, this seems to be different now since Palestinians have been living under three different powers in three divided areas: West Bank, controlled by the Palestinian Authority, East Jerusalem, controlled by Israel and Gaza Strip, controlled by Hamas.

"It is the only way to achieve the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people", he said.
Furthermore, Israel's immediate offer to return all territories was categorically rebuffed by The Khartoum Resolution of 1 September 1967. "It's an apartheid state inevitably", Kurz said, "The world will not let it keep going". And most Israeli national security experts, including a vast majority of former military generals and former Mossad and Shin-Bet chiefs, point out that a two-state solution is necessary for Israel's survival as a democracy and a Jewish state.
