The Six-Day War (1967) — Six Days That Changed the Middle East | 1 of 3

The Six-Day War (1967) | Part 1 of 3

On June 5, 1967, a war erupted between Israel and an alliance of Arab states—including Egypt, Syria, and Jordan.
It lasted only six days, but its consequences reshaped the geopolitical map of the Middle East and altered the course of Arab-Israeli relations for decades.

This episode takes you deep into the historical roots of the conflict:
🔹 The 1948 Arab-Israeli War and the creation of the State of Israel
🔹 The 1956 Suez Crisis and the rise of Gamal Abdel Nasser
🔹 The path to 1967: political miscalculations, rising Arab nationalism, and the alliance of Egypt, Syria, and Jordan

How did the Holocaust and the collapse of colonial empires lead to the founding of Israel?
Why did Nasser become a hero in the Arab world—and a threat in the eyes of Israel?
And how did regional tension, Cold War rivalries, and strategic missteps push the Middle East to the edge of war?

🎬 This is Part 1 of a 3-part series on the Six-Day War.
In the next episode, we’ll break down the events of June 5th—the day the war began.
