Recommendation 157 of the WEU Assembly on the situation in the Middle East (Paris, 15 June 1967)
Text On 15 June 1967, the Assembly of Western European Union (WEU) adopts Recommendation 157 on the situation in the Middle East, requesting that the WEU Council meet immediately as a matter of urgency in order to consider the humanitarian measures which should be taken and seek a political and economic solution to the deadly conflict in the Middle East. From 5 to 10 June 1967, Israel launched a pre-emptive attack on Egypt, Jordan and Syria. This brief conflict, known as the Six-Day War, resulted in a decisive victory for the Israeli army over its Arab neighbours.
