Copyright 1967 The Washington Post. Published in the Washington Post, May 24, 1967. Caption label from exhibit "Enduring Outrage": Herb Block portrayed "Syria" and Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser expressing a dangerous bravado and apparent willingness to ignite a powder keg of built-up arms. In the late spring of 1967, both countries had increased troops and military supplies near their borders with Israel as a response to Israel's warning that it would attack if guerrilla raids from Syria did not cease. Earlier, Egypt had banned United Nations' forces from the Sinai Peninsula and Gaza Strip, then barred Israeli ships from the Gulf of Aqaba. Block pictured the heightened tension resulting from these developments in the Middle East, which escalated into the Six-Day War, from June 5 to June 10, 1967. Publication may be restricted.
