This reminds me of how Nasser bullied the UN forces stationed in the Gaza/Sinai area in May 1967 to leave, and U Thant caved right into them and pulled the UN forces out. Shortly afterwards, Nasser started moving several Egyptian divisions in to Sinai and heated up the "we will liberate 'palestine' rom the Jews" rhetoric, putting his sorry head in a noose that was tightened on him on the morning of June 5, 1967.
