May 1967 CE

Field Marshal Amir, deputy supreme commander of Egypt's armed forces, and Shams ad Din Badran, the minister of defense, urge Nasser to strike first, saying the Egyptian army is strong enough to win.

The Soviet Union and the United States urge Nasser not to go to war.

Nasser publicly denies that Egypt will strike first and speaks of a negotiated peace if the Palestinians are allowed to return to their homeland and of a possible compromise over the Strait of Tiran.
