Abstract
The period after the Six day war is considered as the key period in the history of the contemporary Arab East where political regimes took a definitive shape. The period between 1967 and 1973 was important in the Arab-Israeli conflict owing to the fear (military) of Israel and the contradictions in the Arab unity. This shows how important the political impact of this event was to be. Along with a large political impact there was also a series of economic and social effects. However, one could also say that the economic and social effect was majorly caused due to the political impact. This is particularly true in countries where most of the national affairs are governed by the state. The result of the Six day war was the occupation of the Golan highs, West Bank, Gaza Strip and Sinai desert. These occupied territories seeded the division of the Arab world. Therefore, it is important to understand the consequences of Six Day War which gave rise to the division between the Palestinian resistance movements and the radical states (Syria, Iraq, Libya and Sudan). On the other hand, the other Arab countries were looking for a diplomatic solution.
