The war, which began in April 1967, may have created a new Middle East, but it was nothing new to the people as tension between the Arab and Israeli nations had begun very some time ago. As Jordan's King Hussein said at a United Nations General Assembly after the war, "Today's war is not a new war, but part of the old war." The 1967 conflict was for the same reasons that caused the first Arab-Israeli war. In fact, most of the fighters are the same, including Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq and other Arab states. There are many causes behind the Six Day War and some overlapped and were a sort of continuation of the first two wars. First, the 1948 war, in which the Arabs rejected the Jews' right to substantially rebuild their home in the Middle East. Then came the 1956 war, in which the Arabs still refused and the Egyptians blocked shipments to Israel. Egypt has blocked the Strait of Tiran to Israeli ships and it is an act of war under international law. The decision of Nasser, Egyptian president, to close the strait shocks the entire Arab world. Despite all this, an important event happened that I believe the Six-Day War really originated from. It is “Egypt's decision to evacuate UN troops from the Sinai Peninsula and blockade the Israeli port of Eliat.” Furthermore, another major cause of the war is the way Israel diverts water from the Jordan River to the Negev Desert. Consequently, this angered the Arabs who threatened to drain the water into the Sea of ​​Galilee. “Syria had begun work to divert water away from Israel, but the site was bombed in 1965 and 1966.” In the 1960s, terrorist activity against Israel increased and eventually the PLO and Fatah were formed, which created further tensions between Israel and its... middle of paper... in the Middle Peace Treaty East”. As the years passed, peace between Israel and the PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization) resolved the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It was President Bill Clinton's job to establish peace between the two during a ceremony held at the White House on September 13, 1993. The Six-Day War, plus the preceding battles and subsequent fighting, “reshaped the political landscape of the region and redrawn the borders of the State of Israel". Egypt eventually negotiated and made peace with Israel, and in 1982 the Sinai Peninsula was returned to Egypt in exchange for full diplomatic recognition of Israel. In today's news we always hear something about Israel, Palestinian leaders and the neighboring country, Egypt. It's one of those rivalries that started decades ago and will gradually end or not.
