Why was the six day war important?

Answer 1

Multiple Middle Eastern countries attacked Israel but they failed because of many reasons. One the lack of water to their troops. Israel gave plenty of water to their troops so they wouldn't become dehydrated. Another was lousy firepower. Most of the Egyptian guns were jamming. A large reason was because the Israeli Defense Force Fighter jets completely terminated the Middle Eastern Ground troops with superiority. Then they were barraged as they retreated for five days. It was an important war because Israel was standing alone and stopped an overwhelming amount of troops with little casualties to their own.

Answer 2

Israel gain control of six new territories: East Jerusalem, West Bank, Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, the Eastern Bank of the Sea of Galilee, and the Golan Heights. However, this control was based on UNSC Resolution 242 which requires that Israel devolve these territories to their original countries in return for peace agreements.

In addition to the new territories , Israel also gained a fundamental shift in Middle Eastern policy. It would now be negotiating with Arab countries from a position of strength, being able to return tracts of Arab land to the Arab States for peace as opposed to merely just asking for peace. This is the main reason that Egypt and Jordan eventually were willing to sue for peace even though no other Arab country has done so.
