First Israeli occupation of the Sinai Peninsula (29 ottob 1956 anni – 7 marzo 1957 anni)

Descrizione:

The Sinai Peninsula, which is a part of Egypt, has been militarily occupied by Israel twice since the beginning of the Arab–Israeli conflict: the first occupation lasted from October 1956 to March 1957.

Israel initially seized the Sinai Peninsula during the Suez Crisis, when it attacked Egypt in response to its blockade of Israeli passage through the Suez Canal and Straits of Tiran; the Egyptians had been contesting Israel's freedom of navigation through there since 1949, impacting the country's ability to import and export goods during the Israeli austerity period. Although the occupation allowed Israel to re-open the Straits of Tiran, the Suez Canal was closed until 1957, when Israeli troops withdrew from Egypt.
