Kindly note that duration of Int\'l registered airmail is around 14 theearly 1950s, Egypt violated the terms of the Egyptian-Israeli armisticeagreement and blocked Israeli ships from passing through the Suez Canal, amajor international waterway. It also began to block traffic through theStraits of Tiran, a narrow passage of water linking the Israeli port of Eilatto the Red Sea. This action effectively cut off the port of Eilat -- Israel\'ssole outlet to the Red Sea and Indian Ocean. Closure of the Suez Canal and theTiran Straits damaged Israel\'s trade with Asia, for it meant that foreign shipscarrying goods bound for Israel and Israeli ships carrying goods bound for theFar East had to travel a long and costly circuitous route to the Atlantic andIsrael\'s Mediterranean ports. At thesame time, Palestinian Arab fedayeen launched cross-border infiltrations andattacks on Israeli civilian centers and military outposts from Egypt, Jordanand Syria. Arab infiltration and Israeli retaliation became a regular patternof Arab-Israeli relations. Israel hoped that its harsh reprisals would compelArab governments to restrain infiltrators into Israel. In 1955 alone, 260Israeli citizens were killed or wounded by fedayeen. In July 1956, Egyptian President Gamal AbdelNasser nationalized the Suez Canal, threatening British and French interests inoil supplies and western trade. Their interests converging, Israel, Britain andFrance planned an attack on Egypt, with the former seeking free navigationthrough international waters and an end to terrorist attacks and the latter twohoping to seize control of the Suez Canal. On October 29, 1956, Israel began its assaulton Egyptian military positions, capturing the whole of the Gaza Strip and theSinai Peninsula. On October 31, France and Britain joined the fray andhostilities ended on November 5. The U.S. was caught completely by surprise andvoiced strong opposition to the joint attack. The U.S. pressured Israel towithdraw from Egyptian territory. United Nations forces were stationed alongthe Egyptian-Israeli border to prevent an Egyptian blockade and detercross-border infiltrations. Israel declared that if Egyptian forces would againblockade the entrance to the Gulf of Aqaba, it would consider this a casusbelli. In the years following the 1956Suez crisis, Arabs and Israelis maintained an uneasy truce. Tensions began toescalate in the mid 1960s as a result of domestic, regional and internationalfactors independent of the Arab-Israeli conflict. In particular, Arab statescompeted against each other for dominance in the Arab world. Egypt\'s Nasserstruggled to maintain his position as leader of Arab politics. Facing internalsocial and economic problems as well, Arab governments increased theiranti-Israel posture as a means of quieting internal dissent. In February 1966,for example, a new Syrian regime facing growing economic problems raised the volumeof anti-Israel rhetoric and increased cross-border raids on Israeli territory. In keeping with their attempts to manipulateand control the Palestinian cause, the Arab states created the PalestineLiberation Organization (PLO) in Cairo in 1964. The goal of the PLO, accordingto its founding charter, was to use violence to liberate Palestine. In 1965,Fatah, the main faction of the PLO, began terrorist attacks against Israelicivilians and civilian installations. Soviet-Americancompetition in the Middle East contributed to Arab-Israeli tensions too. Whilethe Soviets lent political and military support to radical Arab regimes, theUnited States provided the same to conservative Arab states and to Israel. The Suez Crisis, also referred to as the TripartiteAggression, Suez War, or Second Arab-Israeli War (Arabic:أزمة السويس/‎ العدوان الثلاثي‎ Azmat al-Suways /al-ʻUdwān al-Thulāthī , \"Suez Crisis\"/ \"theTripartite Aggression\"; French: Crise du canal de Suez; Hebrew: מבצעקדש‎ Mivtza\' Kadesh \"OperationKadesh,\" or מלחמת סיני Milẖemet Sinai,\"Sinai War\"), was a diplomatic and military confrontation in late1956 between Egypt on one side, and Britain, France and Israel on the other,with the United States, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations playing majorroles in forcing Britain, France and Israel to withdraw.The attack followed thePresident of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser\'s decision of 26 July 1956 to nationalizethe Suez Canal, after the withdrawal of an offer by Britain and the UnitedStates to fund the building of the Aswan Dam, which was in response to Egypt\'snew ties with the Soviet Union and recognizing the People\'s Republic of Chinaduring the height of tensions between China and Taiwan. The aims of the attackwere primarily to regain Western control of the canal and to remove Nasser frompower, and the crisis highlighted the danger that Arab nationalism posed toWestern access to Middle East oil.Less than a day after Israel invaded Egypt,Britain and France issued a joint ultimatum to Egypt and Israel, and then beganto bomb Cairo. Despite the denials of the Israeli, British, and Frenchgovernments, allegations began to emerge that the invasion of Egypt had beenplanned beforehand by the three powers.Anglo-French forces withdrew before the end of the year, but Israeli forcesremained until March 1957, prolonging the crisis. In April, the canal was fullyreopened to shipping, but other repercussions followed.The three allies,especially Israel, were mainly successful in attaining their immediate militaryobjectives, but pressure from the United States and the USSR at the United Nationsand elsewhere forced them to withdraw. As a result of the outside pressureBritain and France failed in their political and strategic aims of controllingthe canal and removing Nasser from power. Israel fulfilled some of itsobjectives, such as attaining freedom of navigation through the Straits ofTiran. As a result of the conflict, the UNEF would police the Egyptian–Israeliborder to prevent both sides from recommencing hostilities.
