Summary LBJ warned Prime Minister Eshkol that Israel may not fire the first shot. This bound Eshkol in a gordian knot: he had to convince the world that he had to act, while convincing the Israelis why he shouldn't. Israel's fate in the international arena was entrusted to the very competent hands of its Foreign Minister, Abba Eban. To many outside observers, Israel's fate could not have been in better hands than those of Foreign Minister Abba Eban. Hailed as the greatest orator of the century, he marshaled all his skills on behalf of Israeli diplomacy.
