that's the kind of thing it means.

Why was the sinai war taken place in Egypt?

The Sinai war, also known as 'the June War, Third Arab Israeli War and The 6 Day War was just one part in a long dispute that the Arab nations had with Israel. Israel had been fighting increasing terrorism and rocket attacks from the Arab countries around Israel, and on 6 June 1967 discovered that Egypt, Jordan and Syria were massing troops and aircraft around Israel's borders. Israel attacked and in 6 days defeated the 3 Arab nations decisively. Israel took the Sinai Peninsula and held it as a'buffer zone ' against further Egyptian tank attacks.


Who would win in a war between Egypt and Israel?

Unknown, but it is an unlikely scenario as Egypt and Israel buried the hatchet long ago. Previously, Egypt and Israel fought several wars, most notably the Yom Kippur War of 1973 when Egypt carried out a brilliant surprise attack on the Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula. Israel eventually drove Egypt back but at a very heavy cost. After Egypt and Israel made peace, the Sinai was ceded back to Egypt and the two countries have not fought since.

Is there a strong alliance between Israel and Arab countries?

-- Israel has formal peace treaties with Jordan and with Egypt. -- The treaty with Jordan is in Jordan's interest in many respects, and that one is considered secure. -- The strength of the one with Egypt is less certain, as long as the political and social turmoil continues inside Egypt. -- Regarding the rest of the Arab countries, governments and/or strong factions in each of them are sworn to eliminate Israel from existence on Earth.


What was the name of the war where Israel attacked on Egypt Syria Jordan and Iran?

Iran and Israel have never actually gone to war. The two countries have fought a long, drawn-out proxy war for the last three decades, but never a direct conflict.You are likely asking about the Six Day War, but what is worth noting is that the only country that Israel attacked was Egypt. Then Syria and Jordan declared war on Israel, which prompted an Israeli response.


What was the 1967 war between Israel and its Arab neighbors?

Answer 1 - ListingThere are numerous causes to this conflict and the list below is not exhaustive.1) "Wipe Israel off the Map" Statements: Arab Nationalists, especially Charismatic Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser of Egypt, were pushing strongly for Israel's elimination and made daily speeches about how the Arab States were going to invade and remove Israel from the map to form a unified Arab State. He began to coordinate military strategy with Syria and Jordan (to a lesser degree) as to how to invade Israel effectively. These threats were made daily and consistently in 1967. Additional troops were added to the Egyptian Army and that army began to be arrayed closer and closer to the Israeli border.2) Removal of UNEF Forces: As a condition of the Israeli withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula in 1956, the UN deployed security forces to the Sinai Peninsula to prevent Egypt from massing troops in the Sinai. Nasser evicted the UNEF (the UN security force) from the Sinai Peninsula in contravention of the Armistice for the 1956 Suez Crisis and placed large numbers of Egyptian soldiers and armored divisions on the Israeli-Egyptian border.3) Arab Military Coordination: Nasser coordinated military strategy quite closely with Syria and Jordan. It was clear to many at the time that these forces would not sit idle for long. A number of Syrian battalions were positioning themselves in the Golan Heights above the Sea of Galilee and Jordanian positions in the West Bank were becoming more entrenched.4) Closure of Waterways: Egypt, counter to the armistice ending the 1956 War, closed the Suez Canal to Israeli shipping and then proceeded to close the Straits of Tiran to Israeli shipping, cutting Israel off from trade with Iran which was Israel's greatest ally in the Middle East at the time and primary supplier of petroleum. This had the effect of strangling Israel and is considered by Israel to be the primary causus belli.5) Best Defense is a Good Offense: Israel realized that its borders were too close to for them to risk an Arab Invasion of Israel before retaliating. Israel would have to fight a pre-emptive war in order to secure the best probability of success in a military engagement. The first act of open warfare was when Israel destroyed 2/3 of the Egyptian Air Force on the tar mac on June 5, 1967.6) Imperialist Israel: (Written by someone else) It's when Israel wanted to occupy "their" land, and decided to attack their neighboring Arab countries for it.Answer 2 - DiscussionThe Six-Day War had a number of proximate and chronic causes.Chronic Causes: Israel and the Arab States were only in Armistice for 18 years and during that time Arab Nationalism really developed. One of its cornerstones was Pan-Arab Unity and a non-Arab State (like Israel) that divided Arabs from each other (not to mention the Palestinian Exodus) was a wedge in that dream. Therefore, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser repeatedly threatened to push Israel "into the sea." Israel was also very jumpy in the sense that they had little in the way of international protection (as the United States did not become a strong backer of Israel until after the Six-Day War) and very indefensible borders.Proximate Causes: 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.The Arab nations wanted to defeat Israel as they had wanted since it's inception.
