Most significant to all involved, Israel has captured the remaining sections of Jerusalem not already under its control, including the Old City and the Western Wall.

Talk of exchanging newly captured territories for peace has little public appeal in the midst of the nationalist euphoria that follows the war.

The Eshkol government follows a two-track policy with respect to the territories (which will be continued under future Labor governments): on the one hand, it states a willingness to negotiate, while on the other, it lays plans to create Jewish settlements in the disputed territories.

Thus, immediately following the war, Eshkol issues a statement that he is willing to negotiate "everything" for a full peace, which will include free passage through the Suez Canal and the Strait of Tiran, and a solution to the refugee problem in the context of regional cooperation.
