The Six-Day War was a conflict fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab states (primarily Egypt, Syria, and Jordan) from June 5 to June 10, 1967. Israel launched a preemptive strike against the increasing Arab buildup in the Sinai and achieved a stunning victory, humiliating the Soviet-supplied Arabs and seizing Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, the Gaza Strip, Jordan's West Bank, and Syria's Golan Heights. The war also resulted in the Old City of Jerusalem coming under Jewish control.1

Following the war, Charles de Gaulle responded by accusing Israel of being the aggressor and canceling all of France's arms sales to Israel, abrogating twelve years of close French support. He also delayed the pending shipment of fifty previously purchased Mirage III jet fighters.1
