Negotiations continued publicly at the UN to avoid conflict. However, the three powers signed the attack plan Operation Musketeer at Sevres on October 25. In this plan Israel would attack through the Sinai peninsula on October 29th. British and French forces would then intervene to "stop" the fighting.

  6. Results of the war Isreal captured most of the Sinai desert and Gaza strip only to hand them back to Egypt. The Straits of Tiran were also guaranteed to stay open. Nasser became a hero in the eyes of the Arabs for standing up to the west. The British lost relations with many of the Arab nations.

  13. The Yom Kippur war 1973 After the six day war Israel became a dominate force in the region. Israel controlled the Sinai Dessert and the Golan Heights. In order to broker a better peace solution and regain some of the lost territory, Egypt and Syria secured an agreement to go to war with Israel. Egypt and Syria planned the attack for the Jewish Holiday of Yom Kippur, one of the most important holidays for the Jewish people.

However, by October 14 Israeli forces won key battles in the Sinai dessert and Golan heights. By October 27, 1973 an armistice was signed. The war would lead to future negotiations and peace talks between Israel and the Arab states.

  15. Palestinians and the formation of the PLO Displaced Palestinians began to form their own groups and organizations. In 1954 the Palestinian group Fatah was formed with Yasser Arafat as its leader. Fatah established its headquarters in Damascus. Fatah used guerrilla tactics that they hoped would wear down Israeli resources. In 1964 at an Arab league summit, an umbrella organization was formed, The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO).

  16. Palestinian attacks on Israelis Under the PLO and other groups Palestinians begin to use alternative methods other than conventional conflict. In March 1968, Israeli forces attacked the Fatah headquarters in the Jordanian village of Karemeh. Despite losing six times as many men as the Israelis the Arab's claimed the battle a victory. This raised the profile of Yasser Arrafat and Fatah. In September 1970 the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijacked five civilian airliners and landed them at Dawson's field in Jordan. The civilians were released on September 11. The PFLP then exploded the aircraft in front of the media. This lead to Jordan expelling the PLO and PFLP from its territory.

  17. Palestinian attacks on Israelis At the 1972 Olympics in Munich a faction of Fatah calling themselves Black September took 11 hostages. All hostages were killed after a failed rescue attempt by the German army. In June-July 1976 the PFLP hijecked a Air France flight out of Athens and landed in Uganda. Where the Ugandan leader Idi Amin provided support and soldiers to the Palestinians. The Palestinians demanded the release of Palestinian prisoners in Israel and Europe. The Israelis sent around 100 commandos to Uganda to rescue the hostages. In the operation 3 hostages,1 commando, the 7 high jackers and 45 Ugandan soldiers were killed.
