"The key objective of this war was to overthrow the Nasser Regime, [...] None of the plans had a clear vision of the alternative regime in Egypt. There was no discussion of how the new regime would be established, [...] Ben-Gurion and Dayan had far-reaching visions, all of which depended on the overthrow of Nasser. [...] By the time everybody woke up, Cairo would have been taken by the Franco-British ground forces and the change of regime would have been under way" (Defending the Holy Land, p. 70-72.
