Answer:

1. On TWA, flight 840, which was on its way from Rome to Tel Aviv, was hijacked. This was on August 29, 1969. Leila was on this team and was the first woman to hijack an airplane. Leila was an active leader of the PFLP. She is seen as a symbol of resistance.

2. The UN Resolution 242 called for the withdrawal of Israeli armed forces. They did not specify the extent of the withdrawal. It showed the claim of sovereignty and political independence of every state in the region.
