The Sinai-Suez Campaign, 1956.
The escalation continued with the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran and Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal in July 1956. On October 14, Nasser made clear his intent:
“I am not solely fighting against Israel itself. My task is to deliver the Arab world from destruction through Israel’s intrigue, which has its roots abroad. Our hatred is very strong. There is no sense in talking about peace with Israel. There is not even the smallest place for negotiations”
Less than two weeks later, on October 25, Egypt signed a tripartite agreement with Syria and Jordan, placing Nasser in command of all three armies.
