What proposal did Ariel Sharon make to Yitzhak Rabin before the Six-Day War?

In late May 1967, as tensions escalated and the Israeli government appeared hesitant in its response to Egypt’s remilitarization of the Sinai Peninsula and the blockade of the Strait of Tiran, Ariel Sharon made a radical proposal to the chief of staff, Yitzhak Rabin.

Sharon suggested that the military high command should take power and hold the cabinet in detention while the armed forces launched a preemptive attack against Egypt. Ultimately, this proposal was not acted upon, as the government itself decided to go to war a few days later, leading to the Six-Day War in June 1967.1
