1967 arab israeli war: significance: pg 1,2, 3. Watershed moment in middle eastern history and politics- pg 1. Greatly shifted the military balance of power in the hands of israel. Arab countries more invested in the palestinian issue (their territorial integrity was also at stake) Israel expands its territory: golan heights, west bank, sinai peninsula. Plo emerges as a major player in the struggle for palestine. Israel begins to lose legitimacy in the international sphere ( aggressive, expansionist power although the book argues that although territorial expansion was an outcome of the war, it was not one of israel"s main goals when embarking on war) Reassess the consequences of the war reconstruct the war from the perspective of the protagonists. The great powers and regional powers really have to pay attention to the role of the local powers often times the conflict is viewed from a western- great powers perspective.
