I realize that there were strong tensions and lots of insurgence in the region at those times.
But still... what did they see as justification for waging war against Israel just like that?
What is the current perspective of Arabs and Muslims on the matter? Particularly those who disapprove of the existence of Israel?

Edited to add: far as I have learned, tensions were very high and unhappiness with the British policies of the last few decades was widespread among all of the people in the Middle East.
Still, what did motivate Iraq, Egypt, Jordan and Syria to basically attack Israel without provocation? Or did they see some justification that somehow I never learned of?
How do Arabs and Muslims think of those conflicts these days? Are they seem as a mistake? Or are they unsatisfied for not having been victorious only?
