Answer 1
The Six-Day War - the third major Arab-Israeli conflict - was in a sense a continuation of the first two wars. Broadly speaking, the causes of the fighting in 1967 overlapped with the causes of fighting in 1948 (Arab rejection of Israel) and 1956 (continued rejectionism and an Egyptian blockade of shipping to Israel).
Answer 2
Egypt made a number of overt threats to the peace and security of Israel. They closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli Shipping which cut off Israel from Iran (who at that time was ruled by the Shah and in Alliance with Israel) and other South Asian Nations. This severely diminished Israel's ability to procure petroleum. Also the armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan mobilized their troops to surround Israel and kicked out the UN observers who had been maintaining the Armistice.
Between the fear of a slow death (because of the lack of petroleum) and the fear of a quick death (because of the mobilized armies on its borders) Israel decided that a surprise attack was the best way to deal with these threats. Israel never expected the attack to be the overwhelming success that it was.
Israel, anticipating future aggression from neighboring Arab countries, launched a preemptive attack and seized territory to act as buffer zones. These zones were the Sinai (Egypt), the Golan Heights (Syria), the Gaza Strip (Egypt), and the West Bank (Jordan). Israel claimed the war was justified as a matter of strategic necessity.

He did nothing. He had promised to support Israel in the Six-Day War, but when Israel went to war, he then said that Israel was on its own.
Israel gained independence through victory in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-1949 and the Six-Day took place in 1967. The only relationship that the Six Day War has to Israeli independence is that the Six Day War preserved Israeli independence and prevent the Arab countries from conquering it.
The name of the war is "The Six Day War of 1967". In some Arab circles, it is called the "Naksa" which means "Setback".
