Rise of Babylon - Israeli front

Post by lion_of_judah »

Black September a year before saw the Palestinian citizens of Jordan rise up and claim Jordan as part of their homeland. In this hypothetical scenario what would become known historically as " Black September" and saw Jordan defeat the PLO bid to take over the country, see's instead a PLO victory with the help of Syria and Egypt. With this Israel see's a chance of real peace and so sends diplomats to Amman in order to work out a peace agreement. The new PLO leadership in Amman refuse to see the Israeli diplomats and instead issues demands which they know Jerusalem will never accept.

On September 17th 1967, "Operation Greater Israel" is launched which Jerusalem says will once and for all end in her eyes the Arab/Israeli conflict. Israeli forces have caught the Palestinians off guard and surprised them with a lighting strike into southern Palestine (Jordan). Israeli forces bypassing the port of Aquaba moving north towards the Capital of Amman. Iraq, Turkey, Egypt and the Islamic States declare war against Israel the same day.
