The Six-Day War
The Six-Day War
Jul 8, 2025
In 1967, the Middle East was boiling. Arab nations united to eliminate Israel. Egypt, Jordan, and Syria signed a defense agreement, coordinated their moves, and began aggressive actions that threatened the young state of Israel.
On the Jordanian front, Jerusalem was divided, and access to Jewish holy sites, primarily the Western Wall, was completely denied. Moreover, Jordanian soldiers conducted sniper fire against Israeli civilians, which increased tensions in the city.
In the north, Syria turned the Golan Heights into a base for attacks. It positioned artillery and rained shells on Israeli settlements in the Galilee. Additionally, it attempted to divert the Jordan River’s sources to dry Israel of water.
But the most dangerous front was in the south. Egypt, which led the Arab struggle, concentrated large military forces in the Sinai Peninsula, evacuated UN forces from the area, and blocked the Straits of Tiran – Israel’s vital maritime passage to the Indian Ocean. The blockade was seen as a declaration of war.
After a “waiting period” and many failed diplomatic attempts to prevent war, Israel understood that a combined confrontation from multiple fronts was inevitable and decided not to wait. On June 5, 1967, Israel preempted with “Operation Focus” – a precise air strike that destroyed most of the air forces of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria within hours. Israeli air superiority decided the battle.
Simultaneously, ground forces launched an offensive. Within days, the IDF conquered the Sinai Peninsula and reached the Suez Canal. On the Jordanian front, despite Israel’s attempts to avoid confrontation, Jordan opened fire along the entire front. In response, Israeli forces took control of Judea and Samaria and liberated Jerusalem, including the Western Wall and Temple Mount.
In the north, the Syrians continued to shell northern settlements, and toward the end of the war, the IDF launched an attack on the Golan Heights. Within just two days, the entire area was under Israeli control.
Just six days changed the map of the Middle East. Israel tripled its territory and captured the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, Judea and Samaria, Jerusalem, and the Golan Heights. The war strengthened Israel’s regional status and demonstrated its military power. However, it created a new political reality: the territories captured in the war remained at the center of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to this day, raising questions of sovereignty, security, and future political solutions.
Furthermore, this overwhelming military victory changed the way the world views Israel – from a small state in danger of existence to a significant regional power. The war led to peace agreements with Egypt and Jordan but also to feelings of revenge and anger in the Arab world, which erupted again in the Yom Kippur War six years later.
The effects of the Six-Day War are still felt today – in Israel’s borders, its international status, and the security and political reality of the entire Middle East.
A former paratrooper and reserve commander takes us from the frontlines to the world stage — describing life in Sderot, fighting inside Gaza (Machon Al-Quds, Nuseirat, Beit Hanoun) and the trauma of October 7. He explains how close Gaza is to Israeli towns, recalls the 2005 Gush Katif withdrawal, and shares raw, personal scenes from months spent in active combat — then returning home to face a different battle: the rise of antisemitism worldwide. What you’ll hear in this video: • A frontline commander’s personal testimony about October 7 and the months that followed. • Firsthand descriptions of operations in Gaza (Nuseirat, Beit Hanoun) and daily threats from tunnels and armed militants. • Reflections on the 2005 Gaza withdrawal (Gush Katif) and what it meant for local communities. • The psychological shift from military duty back to civilian life and confronting global antisemitism.
Tommy Robinson visits Re’im, the site of the Nova Festival massacre, during the two-year memorial of the October 7th atrocities. Hear the harrowing first-hand testimonies of survivors and witnesses as they recount what truly happened when Hamas terrorists attacked innocent festivalgoers. This is the raw, unfiltered truth of that dark day, as told by those who lived through it.
After watching previously unseen footage showing the massacre of 110 innocent people by Hamas on October 7th, Tommy Robinson shares his raw reaction and reflections. He speaks about what he witnessed, the mindset behind the attacks, and how the reality on the ground in Israel differs from what much of the media shows. This is not easy to watch — but it’s an honest account of what he saw and why he believes the world needs to understand the true nature of this conflict.
Today I visited the Kibbutz closest to the Gaza border. Where some 5,000 Hamas jihadist scum launched their attack on Israeli citizens on October 7th. I speak to this brave gentleman, Thomas Hand, whose 8 year old daughter was kidnapped by the terror group that day. Listen to the harrowing testimony of a father, one story, amongst thousands. Thank you for sharing your experience Thomas. This video is not for the feint of heart.
In this explosive interview, Amichai Chikli Minister of Diaspora Affairs of Israel delivers a powerful warning about the rise of radical Islam and the Muslim Brotherhood’s dangerous global ambitions, from establishing a Caliphate to imposing Sharia law across Europe and beyond. He slams the UK’s Labour government under Keir Starmer for its "fear-driven" approach to extremism, drawing chilling parallels to appeasement tactics before WWII. Discover why he believes Britain must act decisively to avoid a catastrophic wake-up call. Join the conversation on this critical fight for freedom and democracy!
