    People are discussing whether it's the Arabs who started the war or the Israelis. The Arabs because they removed the UN inspectors, positioned forces on the border of Israel and made a speech about how grand the battle they are preparing will be while Israel attacked before the Arab forces preparing for an attack managed to.

    However - both things are irrelevant.

    Egypt closed the straits of Tiran, which you mentioned as the gulf of Aqaba. Such an action prevents any ships from entering or leaving Israel's south port. In case you are not familiar with the proper terminology - The term defining what Egypt did is "laying siege to a port" or "blockading a port", both of which, according to international law - Is an act of war and gives the blockaded country casus belli to attack back. This isn't anything new, this is the law as it has been for centuries upon centuries.

    Laying siege to the port was performed by Egypt and is the first official act of war at the time deeming Egypt the main and first perpetrator of the 1967 war.

    Or to put it simply - As with all other wars against Israel - The Arabs started it.

    The 6 day struggle used to be a shock assault on Egypt and Syria by way of Israel to break their military earlier than that they had time to react. It used to be very triumphant and many of the international swallowed Israel's tale that they had been protecting themselves from the Arabs. In the Red Sea there used to be an american secret agent send the USS Liberty which used to be attacked and destroyed by way of the Israeli air drive and Israeli Navy on the grounds that they had been amassing information which might have uncovered the Israeli lie. Unknown to the Israelis there used to be a US air drive secret agent aircraft prime above the vicinity that recorded the series of parties however the proof used to be hid for political factors. On the query of the involvement of sky gods(Israeli or in any other case) it must be remembered that the Arabs are christians and muslims and worship the identical god.

    Egypt mobilized it's troops and positioned them to attack Israel. Israel called up it's reserve force.

    Since Israel couldn't keep it's forces mobilized forever and the Egyptians could, Israel attacked. So Israel started the war.
