OUTCOME OF THE AIR WAR
46

47
Use of military coercion to gain political goals.
Israel destroyed the Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian air forces.
Israel occupied Sinai, West bank, Golan ht and Gaza of Arab territory.
Israelis desired to gain recognition for the state of Israel out of the war.
But the Six-Day War did not bring any immediate peace to the Israelis.
Internationally, Israel’s pre-emptive strategy cost her support around the
world.
Even the French condemned the Israelis for starting the war. They
terminated a long period of French-Israeli friendship.
However, the capture of Sinai desert by this war helped Israel to make
negotiation with her main enemy Egypt for the political goal.
