It's important to note beforehand that Israel did not "win" the territories on two counts. Firstly, Israel fought and shed blood to gain those territories, they were not just awarded or gifted to Israel. Secondly, no one can "win" territories without a formal peace treaty awarding territories to one country or another. The Arab-Israeli Conflict has only had partial treaties and none of them have awarded territory conquered during the Six Day War to Israel. (1979 Peace with Egypt returned the Sinai to Egypt and confirmed follow-up discussions on the Gaza Strip and 1994 Peace with Jordan required Israel to cede the West Bank to a future Palestinian State.)

As for the date of the Armistice Signing that legitimated the Israeli occupation of the territories subject to a future peace treaty, that would June 10, 1967.

How is the six day war significant?

Israel gain control of six new territories: East Jerusalem, West Bank, Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, the Eastern Bank of the Sea of Galilee, and the Golan Heights. However, this control was based on UNSC Resolution 242 which requires that Israel devolve these territories to their original countries in return for peace agreements. In addition to the new territories , Israel also gained a fundamental shift in Middle Eastern policy. It would now be negotiating with Arab countries from a position of strength, being able to return tracts of Arab land to the Arab States for peace as opposed to merely just asking for peace. This is the main reason that Egypt and Jordan eventually were willing to sue for peace even though no other Arab country has done so.
