By the end of the day, they had destroyed almost all of Egypt\u2019s air force, about half of Syria\u2019s, and all of Jordan\u2019s. This pre-emptive attack came after years of rising tensions between Israel and its Arab neighbors, who wished nothing less than Israel\u2019s destruction. Gamal Abdel Nasser, president of Egypt and the face of Arab resistance against Israel, frequently promised to destroy Israel in the name of Palestinian liberation. In 1965, after many anti-Israel declarations, he explicitly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org\/background-and-overview-six-day-war#count\">stated<\/a>, \u201cWe aim at the destruction of the state of Israel.\u201d <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-64182\" class=\"size-large wp-image-64182\" src=\"https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2-1200x675.jpg\" alt=\"F-35I Adir\" width=\"880\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2-600x337.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/F-35I-Adir-2.jpg 1280w\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-64182\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">F-35I Adir. Image Credit: IDF.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt was responsible for several of Israel\u2019s woes. The Palestinian Liberation Organization was created by the Arab League in 1963 as a terrorist resistance group to attack Israel from Arab-controlled territories. It was financed and supported by Cairo and Damascus. Nasser also ordered UN emergency forces housed in the Sinai to leave, putting Israeli security at risk and giving the impression an invasion was imminent.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, even after the 1956 Sinai Campaign proving Israel\u2019s sensitivity regarding the Straits of Tiran \u2013 in 1955, Ben Gurion had declared that blocking the strait would be considered a casus belli \u2013 Nasser threatened freedom of navigation once more by mobilizing troops into the Sinai. Lastly, Israeli intelligence gathered evidence starting in 1965 of an impending attack by an Arab coalition. King Hassan II of Morocco <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org\/background-and-overview-six-day-war\">taped<\/a> a meeting of Arab leaders and officers discussing a new Arab-Israeli war, which he promptly handed over to Israeli intelligence, confirming military officials\u2019 suspicions. <\/p>\n<p>Arab states, but especially Egypt, constantly threatened Israeli security. But thanks to Israel\u2019s intelligence apparatus and sense of insecurity, the country prepared itself for conflict and carried out pre-emptive attacks following what is now known as the Begin Doctrine developed after 1956. This allowed the state to win a war against enemies that surrounded it, had more resources available, and wished to destroy it.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It has been 55 years since that fateful war ensured Israel protection from its enemies and established it as an important geopolitical factor in the region. Sadly, though, the threats to Israel haven\u2019t ceased. They have only shifted, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/2022\/10\/if-iran-falls-expose-their-american-friends\/\">Iran<\/a> replacing Nasser and Egypt as Israel\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.19fortyfive.com\/2022\/10\/the-iranian-drones-and-ballistic-missiles-that-might-end-up-in-russias-arsenal\/\">greatest rival<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p>Iran\u2019s enmity toward Israel is based <a href=\"https:\/\/www-tandfonline-com.ez.urosario.edu.co\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/13531040500502874\">primarily<\/a> on religious fundamentalism and geopolitics.
