Initially, in the 1948 war for its own independence, Israel secured the territory that the United Nations had proposed as land for a Jewish state.
In the Six Day War of 1967, Israel gained control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula in defeating Egypt. The Sinai eventually was returned to Egypt.
