A Second Exodus. The Stunning Victory. The Nuclear Option. The West Bank and Gaza. Why Didnt the War Lead to Peace Israel consistently expressed a desire to negotiate with its neighbors. In an address to the UN General Assembly on October 1. Foreign Minister Golda Meir challenged Arab leaders to meet with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion to negotiate a peace settlement. Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser answered on October 1. Israel was trying to deceive world opinion, and reiterating that his country would never recognize the Jewish State. The Arabs were equally adamant in their refusal to negotiate a separate settlement for the refugees. As Nasser told the United Arab Republic National Assembly March 2. Israel and the imperialism around us, which confront us, are two separate things. There have been attempts to separate them, in order to break up the problems and present them in an imaginary light as if the problem of Israel is the problem of the refugees, by the solution of which the problem of Palestine will also be solved and no residue of the problem will remain. The danger of Israel lies in the very existence of Israel as it is in the present and in what she represents. In 1. Arab League decided to introduce a new weapon in its war against Israel the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO. The PLO formally came into being during a 1. Palestinian Congress. Shortly thereafter, the group began to splinter into various factions. Ultimately, the largest faction, Fatah, would come to dominate the organization, and its leader, Yasser Arafat, would become the PLO chairman and most visible symbol. All the groups adhered to a set of principles laid out in the Palestine National Charter, which called for Israels destruction. The PLOs belligerent rhetoric was matched by deeds. Terrorist attacks by the group grew more frequent. In 1. 96. 5, 3. 5 raids were conducted against Israel. All-In-One Elevator Revit more. In 1. 96. 6, the number increased to 4. In just the first four months of 1. The targets were always civilians. Most of the attacks involved Palestinian guerillas infiltrating Israel from Jordan, the Gaza Strip, and Lebanon. The orders and logistical support for the attacks were coming, however, from Cairo and Damascus. Egyptian President Nassers main objective was to harass the Israelis, but a secondary one was to undermine King Husseins regime in Jordan. King Hussein viewed the PLO as both a direct and indirect threat to his power. Hussein feared that the PLO might try to depose him with Nassers help or that the PLOs attacks on Israel would provoke retaliatory strikes by Israeli forces that could weaken his authority. By the beginning of 1. Hussein had closed the PLOs offices in Jerusalem, arrested many of the groups members, and withdrew recognition of the organization. Nasser and his friends in the region unleashed a torrent of criticism on Hussein for betraying the Arab cause. Hussein would soon have the chance to redeem himself. In September 1. 96. Arab leaders and their military and intelligence chiefs met secretly at the Casablanca Hotel in Morocco to discuss whether they were ready to go to war against Israel and, if so, whether they should create a joint Arab command. The host of the meeting, King Hassan II, did not trust his Arab League guests and, initially, planned to allow a joint Shin Bet Mossad unit known as The Birds to spy on the conference. A day before the conference was scheduled to begin, however, the king told them to leave out of fear they would be noticed by the Arab guests. Hassan secretly recorded the meeting and gave it to the Israelis, who learned the Arabs were gearing up for war, but were divided and unprepared. These recordings, which were truly an extraordinary intelligence achievement, further showed us that, on the one hand, the Arab states were heading toward a conflict that we must prepare for. On the other hand, their rambling about Arab unity and having a united front against Israel didnt reflect real unanimity among them, said Major General Shlomo Gazit, who headed the Research Department of Israels Military Intelligence Directorate. The breakup of the U. A. R. and the resulting political instability only made Syria more hostile toward Israel. Another major cause of conflict was Syrias resistance to Israels creation of a National Water Carrier to take water from the Jordan River to supply the country. The Syrian army used the Golan Heights, which tower 3,0. Galilee, to shell Israeli farms and villages. Syrias attacks grew more frequent in 1. Huleh Valley to sleep in bomb shelters. Israel repeatedly protested the Syrian bombardments to the UN Mixed Armistice Commission, which was charged with policing the cease fire, but the UN did nothing to stop Syrias aggression even a mild Security Council resolution expressing regret for such incidents was vetoed by the Soviet Union. Meanwhile, Israel was condemned by the United Nations when it retaliated. While the Syrian military bombardment and terrorist attacks intensified, Nassers rhetoric became increasingly bellicose. In 1. 96. 5, he announced, We shall not enter Palestine with its soil covered in sand we shall enter it with its soil saturated in blood. Again, a few months later, Nasser expressed the Arabs aspiration el the full restoration of the rights of the Palestinian people. In other words, we aim at the destruction of the state of Israel. The immediate aim perfection of Arab military might. The national aim the eradication of Israel. Syrias attacks on Israeli kibbutzim from the Golan Heights finally provoked a retaliatory strike on April 7, 1. During the attack, Israeli planes shot down six Syrian fighter planes Mi. Gs supplied by the Soviet Union. Shortly thereafter, the Soviets who had been providing military and economic assistance to both Syria and Egypt gave Damascus false information alleging a massive Israeli military buildup in preparation for an attack. Despite Israeli denials, Syria decided to invoke its defense treaty with Egypt and asked Nasser to come to its aid. In early May, the Soviet Union gave Egypt false information that Israel had massed troops along the northern border in preparation for an attack on Syria. In response, Egyptian troops began moving into the Sinai and massing near the Israeli border on May 1. Israels Independence Day. By May 1. 8, Syrian troops were prepared for battle along the Golan Heights. Nasser ordered the UN Emergency Force UNEF, stationed in the Sinai since 1. Israeli and Egyptian forces after Israels withdrawal following the Sinai Campaign, to withdraw on May 1. Without bringing the matter to the attention of the General Assembly as his predecessor had promised, Secretary General U Thant complied with the demand. After the withdrawal of the UNEF, the Voice of the Arabs radio station proclaimed on May 1. As of today, there no longer exists an international emergency force to protect Israel. We shall exercise patience no more. We shall not complain any more to the UN about Israel. The sole method we shall apply against Israel is total war, which will result in the extermination of Zionist existence. An enthusiastic echo was heard May 2.
