In June of 1967 Israel launched an attack against its immediate neighbours, the combined Arab armies of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. In a flash it managed to dismantle Egypt's entire air force, and defeated the Arab forces in just six days. This led to the occupation of Egypt's Sinai peninsula, Syria's Golan Heights and the occupation of all Palestinian territories in the West Bank and Gaza. This is where the occupation of Palestine begins.
The seminal historian Dr Khaled Fahmy, Edward Keller Professor of North Africa and the Middle East at Tufts University, joins Edgar in a discussion about the war, focusing on the popular culture at the time. How is it that the Israeli and Arab public believed the Arab forces were superior while the military elite on both sides knew the opposite was true?
Towering figures like Umm Kulthum and Abdel Halim Hafez played their part in egging on the war. Equally, they played a huge part in trying to understand the defeat.
