SCOPE AND CONTENT NOTE

U.S. State Department Office of the Executive Secretariat, Crisis Files, Part 2:The Middle East Crisis, 1967, reproduces State Department records coveringpolitical events relating to the Arab-Israeli Six-Day War of 1967 and U.S. policyregarding Israel and its security. The duration of the military conflict itself was brief,but the origins of the war were complex and its impact on the Middle East region wassubstantial and far-reaching.

The Executive Secretariat was responsible for coordination of the work of theState Department internally, serving as the liaison between the department’s bureausand the offices of the secretary, deputy secretary, and under secretaries. It alsohandled the department’s relations with the White House, the National SecurityCouncil, and other cabinet agencies.

One of its major functions was the maintenance of a comprehensive record ofpolicy decisions based upon committee meetings, conferences, and directives of theofficers of the State Department. It also acted as a channel through which policymatters originating in the offices, divisions, and committees concerned with foreignpolicy problems were brought to the attention of the secretary and his principaldeputies or appropriate office. In addition, the secretariat oversaw the implementationof policy decisions.

Cables sent and received by U.S. diplomats and embassy personnel compose thebulk of the materials in this collection, but there are also memoranda from high-levelgovernment officials; minutes of meetings and telephone conversations betweenU.S. and foreign leaders; personal correspondence; transcripts or summaries ofspeeches, press conferences, and interviews; and newspaper clippings.

In the immediate prelude to the Six-Day War, Arab-Israeli tensions were mounting,with increased incidents of sabotage and terrorism taking place along Israel’sborders. In May 1967, Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser demanded thewithdrawal of the United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF), which had beenstationed in the demilitarized Sinai peninsula since the end of the 1956 Suez War.United Nations (UN) Secretary General U Thant quickly complied with this demand,thus removing the UNEF buffer. Nasser was free to start remilitarizing the area,prompting Israel to mobilize its own forces.

On May 22, Nasser surprised even his Soviet supporters by closing the Gulf ofAqaba to Israeli shipping, blocking Israel’s only access to the Red Sea. This actioncontravened customary international law, under which the gulf was considered aninternational waterway through which no country could deny innocent passage.

The U.S. position on the blockade seemed clear: after the Suez War in 1957, inorder to obtain Israel’s withdrawal from Sinai, the United States had givenassurances of its support for continued Israeli access to the gulf. Many documents inthis collection concern the joint U.S.-UK effort prior to the outbreak of the Six-Day

viii

War to produce a multilateral declaration of maritime nations supporting free accessto the gulf, possibly backed by an international naval force. (A draft of the declarationappears on Reel 2, Frame 0062.) Gathering signatories for the Maritime Declaration,however, proved to be no simple task. Though a few countries, such as theNetherlands, Australia, and New Zealand, were ready to sign right away, somepreferred to let the UN resolve the issue. Others were reluctant to offend their Araballies and trading partners by signing such a declaration (see Reel 2, Frame 0092).

U.S. commitments to Israeli security are a major theme in this collection.Documents detail those commitments from officials in the administrations of Harry S.Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon Baines Johnson. Thecollection also includes statements by congressional leaders on U.S. policy towardIsrael (Reel 1, Frame 0889). Numerous cables reveal that Johnson administrationofficials made every diplomatic effort to avoid a war. In addition, personal letters fromJohnson to Middle East leaders on both sides of the conflict urged them to exerciserestraint.

Military aid and arms shipments are another major theme in this collection. Duringand after the war, U.S. officials had to reevaluate their policy on supplying arms toIsrael and the Arab countries, particularly to those Arab countries that brokediplomatic relations with the United States because of its alleged support for Israel(Reel 17, Frame 0148). The USSR, though it did not want war in the region any morethan the Western nations, nevertheless supplied Arab countries with substantialamounts of military equipment both before and after the conflict (Reel 13, Frame0780).

In the aftermath of hostilities, which were halted by a UN-brokered cease-fire, thediplomatic focus shifted to forging a workable peace settlement. In the process ofmilitarily defeating its Arab rivals, Israel had acquired a great deal of territory,including the Sinai peninsula, the West Bank and Gaza, East Jerusalem, and theGolan Heights. The priority for Arab leaders, therefore, was to secure Israeliwithdrawal from these occupied areas. For its part, Israel believed withdrawal shouldhappen only in the context of a broader peace settlement. Israel sought fullrecognition of its existence as a state, territorial integrity, and final peace treatieswith each of its Arab neighbors. Added to these difficult issues were U.S. goals for aMiddle East settlement, including a regional arms limitation agreement, a “large andimaginative” regional economic development program, and satisfactory resolution ofthe refugee problem (Reel 16, Frame 0538).

Other topics covered in this collection include the supply of Middle East oil toWestern nations, the precarious position of King Hussein of Jordan, the mistakenIsraeli attack on the USS Liberty, the potential for Israeli and Arab development ofnuclear capability, Palestinian refugees from the West Bank, international economicassistance and emergency relief, the possibility of the USSR linking the Middle Eastcrisis to de-escalation in Vietnam, violence against and evacuation of U.S. citizensfrom Middle East countries during the crisis, and U.S. operations at Wheelus AirBase in Libya.
