The Arab response to the 1967 defeat was to prepare for the next war which came in October 1973 when Egypt and Syria launched simultaneous surprise attacks on Israel.
"On 14 May 1948, the State of Israel was born".
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for ending of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories since 1967 and urged the global community for negotiating a two-state solution to resolve the conflict between the two Middle Eastern neighbours.
According to the report, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been imprisoned by Israel since 1967.
Global law views the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as "occupied territory". Settlers planted in Gaza were evacuated in 2005 while more than 20,000 Israelis have settled in the Syrian Golan.
The rights group also reported that Tel Aviv tightened restrictions on the movement of people and goods to and from the Gaza Strip, saying the measures "far exceed any conceivable requirement of Israeli security".
Since then, there have been multiple failed opportunities for Israel to reach an agreement with the Palestinians.

While Israelis and Palestinians are marking the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the war on Monday 5 June, they will do so in very different ways.
It is not a secret that in many stages following the Israeli occupation, a Palestinian state could have been established, with sovereign and clear borders.
The Golan and east Jerusalem were subsequently annexed but the moves were never recognised by the global community.
The negotiations have stumbled and stopped. Indeed, today, as the long-simmering tensions between Gulf Arab states boiled over and with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and others severing ties with Qatar, Israeli Minister of Defense Avigdor Lieberman remarked that this was an opportunity and that "Israel is more than open to cooperation".
Some 2.9 million Palestinians live in the West Bank today, about 430,000 live in the settlements and another 200,000 in East Jerusalem; these settlements make it impossible for the divided state to unite.
"No one talked about a Palestinian state in 1967". However, the Netanyahu government is dominated by hardline nationalist and religious parties which are opposed to a Palestinian state and insist on Israel's right to colonise all the territory it holds.
However, that expansion meant that Israel was suddenly controlling a large Palestinian population.
