All European nations refused to American resupply planes to land for re-fuel fearing backlash from oil rich Arab nations (the embargo still came). This is simply false. Israel got help from several European countries in this regard. Salazar's Portugal was happy to help and famously lent the US a base on the Azores. This ended up being a mammoth operation that would land up to 30 planes daily saw the base's population grow to some 1300 people. The Greek junta also allowed use of its communication facilities and the use of an airport near Athens. The Netherlands also secretly landed a smaller number of planes, in addition to providing substantial material (munitions, parts) and political support. Britain and other countries had other reasons for being reluctant to support Israel at the time, besides the oil issue -- most chiefly its refusal to return to 1967 borders. So in that sense, it was Israel's arrogance and contempt for international law in the aftermath of that conflict which ended up endangering its own security.
