Diplomat Blames U.S. for Israel Egyptian War
David G. Nes, veteran American diplomat and deputy chief of mission in Cairo, says Washington's timidity and policy errors helped push the 1967 crisis. He resigned after 26 years in the Foreign Service, alleging the State Department blocked meaningful action and that U.S. aid delays and Arab distrust worsened relations with Egypt. Nes cites Nasser’s actions, Israeli-Soviet factors, and faulty food aid handling as key causes of the conflict.
