Plots of interactions within the Arab-Israeli and inter-Arab domains suggest that a relational analysis of the coming of the Six Day War will require an empirical domain which extends beyond the UAR and Israel. Transformation of the Arab-Israeli domain after 1965 is best described in terms of the degree to which the rising level of conflict became a matter of Syrian-Israeli conflict; UAR-Israeli conflict was negligible during the year prior to mid-May 1967. The inter-Arab domain was transformed from one of cooperation in 1965 to one of conflict and cooperation in 1966-67; during the latter period, conflict and cooperation were distributed in an increasingly bipolar pattern among the “revolutionary” and “conservative” Arab states. The plots of the two domains suggest that conflict between the UAR and the “conservative” Arab states mediated the relationship between the upward trend in Syrian-Israeli conflict and the sudden escalation to war between Israel and the UAR. The data used to generate the plotted streams of targeted conflict and cooperation among Israel, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the UAR consist of approximately 4500 external events drawn from ten global and regional chronologies and indexes.
