Was Israel the aggressor in the conquest of the West Bank in 1967?
Alexisdesaintmichel
No. Jordan was the aggressor in 1967, in that theatre of the war. On June 5, 1967, Israel preemptively attacked Egypt and Prime Minister Eshkol sent a message to King Hussein of Jordan explicitly asking him to stay out of the conflict so that Israel could concentrate its attack on Egypt. On June 6, Jordanian radar picked up Israeli fighter jets over Egyptian airspace returning to Israel. Egyptian President Nasser wanted Jordanian involvement so that Israel would have to fight a war on two fronts and communicated to King Hussein that the jets were Egyptian on a victory invasion of Israel. As a result, on June 7th, Jordan began to shell West Jerusalem from the West Bank, resulting in an Israeli invasion of the West Bank later that day. So, while Israel was the aggressor with respect to the Gaza Strip occupation, Jordan was the aggressor with respect to the West Bank Occupation.
