When Egypt's President Nasser closed the straits of Tiran to Israeli navigation, it triggered a conflict between Israel and the armies of Jordan, Syria and Egypt. Within six days the Israelis had occupied territories three times wider than their own, populated by over a million Palestinian Arabs. Israel suddenly became something of a colonial empire, more Goliath than David. The war granted political legitimacy to Menachem Begin's right-wing Herut party, and Arab terrorism paved the way for Israel's secret service to become a major factor in the country's power structure. 1967 will not be a military history, nor will it focus mainly on political developments. \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe year 1967 dramatically altered the lives of millions of individuals and this book will focus on the personal stories from both sides of the conflict.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Readers Paradise Book Shop Wexford","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47209309339995,"sku":"","price":4.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0538\/7105\/0923\/files\/1_dbbd05d3-cc49-48d1-a315-8748e6b5497f.jpg?v=1697288357","url":"https:\/\/readersparadise.pro\/products\/1967-israel-the-war-and-the-year-that-transformed-the-middle-east","provider":"ReadersParadise","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
