(詳細はIsrael, May 15 – June 5, 1967, between the Egyptian crossing of the Suez Canal into the Sinai Peninsula and the outbreak of the Six-Day War. ==Military moves== On 13 May 1967 Nasser received a Soviet intelligence report which claimed that Israel was massing troops on Syria's border.〔Mutawi 2002 p. 93〕 Nasser verified that the report was false,〔Morris, 2001, p.305〕 but still told his people that Israel troops are placed on Syria's border. Subsequently, he took three successive steps that made war virtually inevitable: On 14 May he deployed his troops in Sinai near the border with Israel, on 19 May expelled the UN peacekeepers stationed in the Sinai Peninsula border with Israel, and on 23 May closed the Straits of Tiran to Israeli bound shipping.,〔 although he knew that it would be considered a Casus belli by Israel.〔 90% of Israeli oil passed through the Straits of Tiran.〔 Oil tankers that were due to pass through the straights have been delayed. 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www2.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/pdbnews/blanton11.pdf )〕 When the UN forces evacuated its troops, Israel military commentators and political officials still believed that Egypt would not open a front against Israel, due to its involvement in the North Yemen Civil War. However, when Nasser declared that his forces were withdrawing from Yemen and making their way to Sinai, Israel drafted every fit man, which led to an economic paralyzation. No emergency was felt on the Jordanian border. Tourists kept crossing the Mandelbaum Gate, although there were reports of Jordanian Legion forces moving from Amman to towards West Bank. Nasser's move was supported by Moscow, while the United States warned both Israel and Egypt not to take military action. On 27 May Egypt canceled a planned attack on Israel at the last minute,〔〔〔 and on May 30, Jordan and Egypt signed a defense pact. The following day, at Jordan's invitation, the Iraqi army began deploying troops and armored units in Jordan.〔Churchill pgs 52 and 77〕 Any military analyst should have recognized that the arrival of large numbers of Arab troops and Iraqi planes in Jordan would inevitably make Israel anxious swiftly to act against Jordan before these new forces were fully deployed.〔 Israel continued to prepare for war.〔 Israeli scholar Avner Cohen has argued that this period was also crucial to Israel's nuclear policy, and that the anxiety led Israel to advance towards "operational readiness" of its nuclear option. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Waiting period (Six-Day War)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
