Best Answer

On October 29, 1956, Israeli armed forces pushed into Egypt toward the Suez Canal after Egyptian president jamal Abdel Nasser (1918-70) nationalized the canal in July of that same year, initiating the Suez Crisis.

The Israelis soon were joined by French and British forces, which nearly brought the Soviet Union into the conflict, and damaged their relationships with the United States. In the end, the British, French and Israeli governments withdrew their troops in late 1956 and early 1957.
