A combination of pictures created on May 16, 2017 shows a file photo (top) taken by an AFP photographer during the 1967 Six-Day Arab-Israeli war showing Israeli soldiers standing guard by Jordanian and Palestinian prisoners-of-war along a wall at Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, Islam's third holiest site, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, in Jerusalem; and another picture (bottom) showing the same view taken fifty years later on May 16, 2017. The Arab-Israeli war of June 1967, or Six-Day War, radically changed the map of the Middle East. Between June 5 and 10, Israel defeated Egypt, Jordan and Syria and occupied Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, east Jerusalem, and Syria's Golan Heights. Although Israel has since withdrawn from Sinai and the Gaza Strip, the Golan Heights and east Jerusalem have been annexed and the West Bank remains occupied by the Jewish state. / AFP PHOTO / Thomas COEX (Photo credit should read THOMAS COEX/AFP via Getty Images)
