Since the end of the Suez Canal War, Britain and France gradually began to withdraw from the Middle East, the United States and the Soviet Union began to gradually enter the vacuum left by Britain and France, and launched a new round of cold war in the Middle East. On June 5, 1967, Israel launched a sudden air attack on the airports of Egypt and Syria, marking the outbreak of the six day war. In less than two hours, the air forces of the two Arab countries were paralyzed, and the war ended with the brilliant victory of Israel and the devastating defeat of Arabia. On the surface, this is a war between Arab countries and Israel, but in fact, this war is the result of the Middle East policy of the United States, which also contains a deep game with the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union. After the war, anti Americanism in the Middle East also developed to a great extent.
