What if the Arab countries (mainly Egypt, Syria, and Jordan) had managed to beat Israel in the Six Days' War of 1967 and conclude a peace favourable to their interests, instead of losing large territories to Israel?
What would they negotiate for? An enlarged and sovereign Palestine, perhaps in confederation with Israel? Or a darker scenario, involving massacres and ethnic cleansing of the Jewish population?
What would be further effects on the Middle East and the world? Does Nasser and the Arab League still end up getting comfy with the USSR? Could a better Arab situation and morale post-war provide the impetus for a pan-Arab state (UAR)? With less of a Palestinian diaspora problem, would Lebanon still face the same political challenges it faced IOTL?
Any further thoughts?
