Mirna Abifaker's List: Six Day War
-
May 01, 12
The infamous event of the Six Day War altered the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Various wars have occurred due to the friction of Israel and the Arab states, yet the war in 1967 must have been one of the most pivotal of all. There is always a large question mark next to this notorious war, speculating whether Israel attacked as a “pre-emptive strike” or if it was a “war of conquest.” Despite the reasons that sparked the war, the results of these mere six days are what truly transformed the conflict between the Arab nations and Israel to a new level.

AFTER THE WAR
- Israel celebrated it's triumph yet gloom descended over the Arab States that took part in the war
- President Nasser resigned on June 10 but public support from the Egyptians persuaded him to change his mind
- At the UN, Soviets were trying to secure passage of a resolution that would force Israel to withdraw from the conquered territories
- The Resolution was strongly opposed by the US
- Security council then adopted an ambiguous measure: Resolution 242
"guaranteeing freedom of navigation through international waterways in the area" and "achieving a just settlement of the refugee problem"
- The Resolution was the only basis for a firm and lasting peace between them and they couldn't agree on the meaning of the resolution so they could't negotiate the terms of peace

The outcome of the Six-Day war was an unexpected one. The Arab nations, who had planned an attack with full confidence that they would win the war, were surprised by Israel’s quick, successful tactics. Leaders went back to their counties embarrassed that they were defeated by a country before viewed as inferior. It was also a war lost by the Soviet Union to the United States. It made it apparent to the Soviets that U.S. weapons could defeat them. Egypt and Israel continued their fighting for over a decade in events such as the War of Attrition and the Arab-Israeli War in 1973. They did not make any formal end to their feuding until they signed the Camp David Accords in 1979.

The 1967 war was a rough six days for the Arab Nations. Although getting defeated by one small country, embarrassment was the least of their worries when the war resulted in a major loss of land for Palestine. With all these territories gained by Israel, it caused the UN Resolution 242 to take place as well as possibly leading the Arab states into another war against them. The friction between the Arab nations and Israel have concluded into several wars yet the Six Day War was definitely one of the most pivotal.
