Unsuccessful Effort of the Superpowers to Settle the Arab-Israeli Conflict in the Aftermath of the Six-Day War
In the aftermath of the Six-Day War between Israel and Arab countries, the Soviets and the Americans were locked in a diplomatic and propaganda battle in the UN over the future of the vast territories that Israel had conquered. Fearing that their Middle-Eastern clients, namely Egypt and Israel, could drag them into a direct clash, the two superpowers maintained secret contacts parallel to their power struggle in the UN in an effort to reach an ag…
The Power Struggle Between the Johnson Administration and the Kremlin Over a Solution to the Arab–Israeli Conflict in the Aftermath of the June 1967 Six Day War
The 5–10 June 1967 Six Day War between Israel and Arab countries presented a new challenge for the competing U.S. and Soviet Union. Moscow, disturbed by the harm to its prestige and standing in the world following the humiliated defeat of its two main clients in the Middle East—Egypt and Syria—was determined to abolish Israel's territorial gains as quickly as possible. In contrast, President Lyndon B. Johnson’s administration considered Israel’s …
The US and the Israeli raid on the Iraqi Osiraq nuclear reactor
On 7 June 1981, Israeli warplanes attacked Iraq's Osiraq nuclear reactor and destroyed it. Surprised by the raid, the Reagan's administration was puzzled about how to react. Some officials supported punishing Israel, while others recognized the advantages of the attack though they could not say it publicly. Washington knew that its moderate Arab allies expected a firm reaction, especially as Israel used American airplanes in the attack, apparentl…
Britain, the Soviet Union, and the Arab–Israeli conflict after the Six-Day War
Following the June 1967 Six-Day War, the Soviet Union and Britain invested significant efforts in rehabilitating their relations with the Arab countries, notably Egypt. While both supported the withdrawal of Israel from the Arab-occupied territories, the two countries differed over the nature of the settlement. Still, at the UN Security Council, the Soviet Union supported the British draft resolution for solving the Middle East conflict. Cold War…
George Brown and British Policy Towards Israel in the Aftermath of the Six-day War
In the aftermath of the Six-Day War (5–10 June 1967), Britain’s foreign secretary, George Brown, invested significant efforts in improving Britain’s relations with Egypt as part of his strategy to restore Britain’s standing in the Arab world and protect British economic and geostrategic interests in the Middle East. The unavoidable result of this policy was the worsening of relations between Britain and Israel, which blamed the British Foreign Of…
George Brown and British Policy in the Middle East following the 1967 War
In the aftermath of the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, relations between Britain and the Arab world improved, particularly with Egypt, and also with Jordan. This article shows the driver of this decisive shift in policy was the initiative of Foreign Secretary George Brown. Well aware of the aversion some of his colleagues felt toward Egyptian president Gamal Abd al-Nasser and anger over King Husayn of Jordan's defense pact with the Egyptian leader, Brown…
Jerusalem in Anglo-American policy in the immediate wake of the June 1967 war
Jerusalem's status has remained indeterminate since the approval of the UN General Assembly Resolution 181 in November 1947. Following the 1948 war, the US acknowledged de facto Israeli and Jordanian control in their respective sectors of Jerusalem, but refused to recognize Western Jerusalem as Israel's capital. After Israel captured the Old City during the 1967 Six Day War, the question of the city's status became a focus of US and British conce…
The US, Britain and the Palestinian Refugee Question after the Six Day War
The Six Day War intensified the Palestinian refugee problem as tens of thousands of Palestinians fled from the West Bank to Jordan's East Bank. The war created a new situation in which more than 50 per cent of the refugees who had been displaced from Israel in 1948 now lived in territories occupied by Israel. This gave rise to hopes that a solution could be found, at least for those refugees under Israeli rule. Officials in both the US and the UK…
Liberation and Dispersal
Israel and the International Legal Arena
Israel considers the international legal arena as another battlefield where the country's legitimacy is challenged. Jerusalem's apprehension in regard to its international standing further increased in 2002 following the establishment of the International Criminal Court at The Hague. Developments in the case against Prime Minster Ariel Sharon in Belgium between June 2001 and September 2003 strengthened the Israeli government's conviction that an …
Confronting Captivity
How was it possible that almost all of the nearly 300,000 British and American troops who fell into German hands during World War II survived captivity in German camps and returned home almost as soon as the war ended? This book offers a behind-the-scenes look at the living conditions in Nazi camps and traces the actions the British and American governments took—and didn't take—to ensure the safety of their captured soldiers. Concern in London an…
Confronting Captivity
Indirect pressure
Soviet efforts to undermine Britain's position in the Middle East after the Second World War encountered an Anglo-American determination to deny Moscow a foothold in the region. As Britain appeared politically most vulnerable in Palestine, the Kremlin set out to influence events there by helping to bring an end to the mandate, without initially committing itself to either the Arabs or the Jews. Ignoring British demands to the contrary, it allowed…
Why None of Britain’s Long-Term POWs in Nazi Germany Were Repatriated During World War II
Britain’s hasty retreat from Dunkirk between 29 May and 4 June 1940 left approximately 34,000 British soldiers in German hands as prisoners of war (POWs). With the prolongation of the war, Whitehall came under growing public pressure to seek an exchange of long-term POWs. As late as April 1944, London proposed to Berlin a mutual exchange. Almost a year passed before the Germans responded by suggesting an exchange of 25,000 men. Wary of the repatr…
Britain's Image Campaign against the Zionists
Britain's struggle against the Zionists after the second world war involved the mounting of a propaganda campaign, the aim of which was to sway attention away from the plight of the survivors of the Holocaust and to present these now displaced persons as participants in a nationalistic struggle. This included portraying Zionist activists as shrewd, unscrupulous people who were willing to adopt any means, the exploitation of suffering DPs included…

British officialdoms and European Jewry during the 1940s
On the eve of the war in Europe, Whitehall, as part of its effort to appease the Arab states, retreated from its support of Zionism. Among other acts, Britain restricted the immigration of Jews to Palestine, which was the main potential haven for Jewish refugees during and after the war. A serious conflict evolved between the Zionists and the British over the immigration issue. British officials who dealt with the Palestine problem tended to rega…
The struggle against Jewish immigration to Palestine
This article examines British policy on Jewish immigration in light of both Arab and Zionist pressures. British policy vis-a-vis Palestine on the eve of the war in Europe apparently was meant to appease the Arabs. When Jewish immigration was perceived by the Arabs to form the crux of the Palestine problem Britain limited the scope of immigration. Zionists undermined British immigration policy by sending to Palestine numerous illegal immigrants fr…
Discord within the Roosevelt Administration over a Policy toward War Criminals
U.S. policy toward war criminals crystallized during the fall and winter of 1944–45. Washington's involvement with the issue, however, had actually begun three years earlier, when on 25 October 1941 President Franklin D. Roosevelt first addressed the matter publicly following reports of the murder of French hostages. After speaking of the German brutality, Roosevelt concluded with a vague threat: “Frightfulness can never bring peace to Europe. It…

British response to the involvement of the American Jewish joint distribution committee in illegal Jewish immigration to Palestine
Following the end of the Second World War Britain conducted a comprehensive campaign against the illegal immigration of Jewish refugees from Eastern Europe to displaced persons’ camps in Germany and Austria, and to Palestine. British inquiries at the time revealed that the American Jewish philanthropic agency known as the ‘Joint’ was assisting the illegal movement. The British government failed to bring this assistance to an end. British failure …

After World War II, Britain mounted an intensive campaign to convince the French authoriies to prevent illegal sailings of Jewish immigrants from French ports to Palestine. The British had to face the empathy that was felt, particularly by French Socialist leaders, for the survivors of the Holocaust and the anger that some French officials harboured toward Britain Despite the rapprochement between Britain and France during the course of 1947, no …

Britain, the United States, and the Question of Asylum for War Criminals in the Neutral Countries During World War II
Following the invasion of Sicily and Mussolini’s forced abdication (25 July 1943), London and Washington decided to request the neutral governments not to offer asylum to war criminals. Through autumn 1943, however, the neutral governments were resolved not to give the Allies the desired assurances, basing their position on their legal rights as sovereign, neutral countries. Determined to avoid antagonizing Berlin, the neutrals clearly manifested…
