Water Crisis in the Middle East
What is the Six Day War, and what are the various events that led to the War? What is the background of the War, and what were its consequences? The Six Day War took place in the month of June 1967. The crisis had actually begun in the early months of 1965, when the PLO, through Fatah, led a campaign of attacks on the borders along Jordan and Lebanon.

According to this strategy, Israel would be forced to adopt an 'offensive' position with the technique of 'sabotage', and this meant that the Arabs would become more wary and would in turn be forced to step up and polish their own military preparedness and campaigns. This was planned in such a way that it would become a continuous cycle of 'action-retaliation-reaction', and the tensions and pressure would escalate to such a point that there would no option left but to wage a war. This is what led to the Six Day War. (Israel 1948 to 1967, the Six-Day War Background)

Israel had activated the National Water Carrier from the Sea of Galilee to the Negev in the year 1964, and this had prompted several dangerous tensions and pressures along the Syrian borders. Therefore, Syria and some other Arab countries vehemently opposed the National Water Carrier Project, and attempted to stop it by diverting the various tributaries of the river of Jordan that are located in their respective territories. When this was done, Israel...
