plotted for a decade to launch the 1967 war
How did they get President Nasser of Egypt and all the other Arab nations to start it?
"The armies of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon are poised on the borders of Israel . . . . to face the challenge, while standing behind us are the armies of Iraq, Algeria, Kuwait, Sudan and the whole Arab nation. This act will astound the world. Today they will know that the Arabs are arranged for battle, the critical hour has arrived. We have reached the stage of serious action and not declarations." – Nasser, May, 30, 1967 after signing a defense pact with Jordan's King Hussein
They didn't... The Egyptian Army was deployed in Yemen when the Israelis attacked.. Read Moshe Dayan.
How clever of the Israelis ... they went all the way to Yemen to capture thousands of Egyptian soldiers.

No stupid. Egypt was fighting on the side of the Communists in Yemen against the Saudis who were fighting for the Monarchists. The Yemen civil war lasted about 6 years. In fact, just before Israel bombed Egypt, Nasser had called for a summit to resolve the issue over the Straits of Tiran.
They had screwed the pooch with Operation Susannah to blow up Americans and blame the Palestinians. Before their false flag was exposed Eisenhower withdrew financing for the Aswan Dam driving the Egyptians into the arms of the Soviets... which in turn lead to the Suez Crisis.. and a whole new chokepoint for transporting oil to the US and Europe.
