"For Israel, the Six Day War was a war of choice. It did not have to
fight it. The main reason that Israel went to war was the incessant
pressure that the general staff applied on the cabinet. Israeli generals
sensed the enemy’s immense weakness and wanted to use this opportunity
to strike a deadly blow. For over a decade, the Israeli army had
perfected plans for a swift offensive that would allow it to conquer
significant chunks of Arab territory. Another key aim of Israeli war
plans was to trap Egyptian forces in northern Sinai and turn that area
into a killing zone. Peled, the Israeli general, let the cat out of the
bag four decades ago when he wrote: “When we were mobilizing all out
forces… this power was necessary to eliminate definitively the
Egyptians.”
