June 10 is Portugal's national holiday — Portugal Day, Camões Day and Portuguese Communities Day — in honour of poet Luís de Camões, who died on that day in 1580. Camões, author of the epic poem "Os Lusíadas" (1572) — the greatest epic poem in the Portuguese language — lived and died in poverty despite his genius. His work narrates the maritime exploits of Vasco da Gama and is the symbol of Lusitanian cultural identity.

On June 10, 1967, the Six-Day War ended with a ceasefire between Israel and Syria.

The Israeli military triumph quadrupled the territory under its control and created the territorial situation that conditions Middle Eastern politics today, with hundreds of thousands of Palestinians under occupation.
