Israeli troops seized east Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank during the 1967 Six-Day War. It pulled out of Gaza in 2005. The Palestinian leadership plans to submit a draft resolution to the UN Security Council on Wednesday demanding the end of Israel's occupation by November, 2016. The Arab League backs the resolution, but it has run into opposition from the US. France stepped in last month to try to cobble together, with the help of Britain and Germany, a resolution that would win consensus at the UN.
