To Israelis, victory brought reunification of Jerusalem, renewed access to holy sites, and greatly expanded the size of the fledgling Jewish state. For Palestinians and Arabs, also including Egyptians, Syrians, and Jordanians, it was a dicomfort defeat that cost them the West Bank, Jerusalem, Gaza, and the Golan Heights.
