Israel's existence was seriously challenged then.

False. Three reasons:

1. Before the war, U.S. military assessment was that Israel could win in a week.
2. Before the war, Israeli military assessment was that Israel would win in a week.
3. Israel won in a week.

You are just reciting propaganda which had the purpose of scaring people into supporting the aggression.

Ezer Weizman, who did much of Israel's operational planning of the 1967 war:

"There was no threat of destruction."

"Had the Egyptians attacked first, they would have also then suffered a complete defeat, with maybe 13 hours being needed instead of only 3 to command control of the air"
