After the 1967 Six Day War, Dayan had hoped that the entire West Bank and Gaza, which Israel had just captured, could be given back in exchange for a peace with the Arab states. But the expected "telephone call" from Arab capitals never came. Instead, the Arabs hurled their defiance, stating there would be no negotiations, no peace, and no recognition of Israel. And so the long occupation began. This is exactly the opposite of the way it happened. Israel refused to make peace, so the Arabs became angry.
