under the WTO.

Nasser wanted war, and he got it. He just thought that Israel would go thru the usual route in the Sinai, which would have been repulsed by his fortifications. They went around them.

If Nasser wanted peace, he would not have made the defensive agreement with Jordan, which put Jordanian forces under his control.

If you REALLY think that Nasser wanted this settled peacefully then you are not worth debating over this.
