  • Key Reasons for Israeli Victory:
    • Arabs lost 15,000 men, Israel under 1000, they had larger armies and modern soviet missiles but destroyed air forces
    • Israel had French fighter planes, tanks, advanced US equipment (to intercept communications), they were skilled and trained, fighting for their nations's survival
  • Israel gained Sinai and Gaza from Egypt, East Jerusalem and West bank from Jordan and Golan Heights from Syria; enhanced border security (buffer zones) and built Jewish Settlements and confiscated Arab land; Jerusalem annexed by Israel (violating International law)
  • Arabs blamed US and European powers for defeat, oil-producers Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Libya provided £135 million annually for Egypt and Jordan's losses and USSR replaced lost weapons for Egypt and Syria
