Israel Takes Sharm el-Sheikh,
Old Jerusalem, Nablus, Sinai,
Major Points in Speedy Action

Israel acted speedily and decisively and has won another
war—the third in its conflict with enemy neighbors—in a
matter of hours.
The victory is greater than the 100-hour Sinai war, and
faster. Except for skirmishes still in progress with Syria
and Egypt. the Arabs have been knocked out, Jordan has
signed a cease fire—Hussein hoping to save his throne and
his skin—and Nasser's defeat is almost complete.
By taking the fortress of Sharm el-Sheikh, Israel assures
itself continued free shipping through the Strait of Tiran-
and this time it will be with Israeli flags flying over the
plying ships. Israel has taken Hebron, Nablus and Jericho.
Russia continues to place obstacles in Israel's path,
resorts to charges of aggression against Israel, seeks to under-
mine Israel's position—and the debates go on. But Israel
is determined, in Abba Eban's words, to have the clock go
forward, not backward, for peace in the Middle East.
Thus, there is hope for an end to blockades and for
resistance to boycotts, enmities, saber-rattling, threats of
war that made a powder keg of the entire area.
