The most feasible plan for Med-Dead is not a canal, but a below sea level tunnel from Palmachim to the south branch of Wadi Qumran.
The Suez Canal in 1956
Israel has always been located right where it is now, even before the Suez Canal was constructed.
The UK, France, and Israel fought Egypt over the rights to the Suez Canal.
Yes and No. It's in Egypt and built nearly a century before Israel existed. However, due to Egypt's belligerence towards Israel between 1948-1979, the Suez Canal was illegally closed off to Israeli shipping. In 1956, this prompted a war from Israel to acquire control of the Canal to offset the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran. In 1967, Israel conquered all of the Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal, which was only ceded back to Egypt in 1979.

Suez conflict, France and Israel reacting to Egypt blocking the Canal.
This is true.
The Arab-Israeli War of 1956 (Commonly called the Suez Crisis) began when British and French forces, which were jointly controlling the Suez Canal were forced out by Gamal Abdel Nasser during his attempt to nationalize the Canal. The British and French were not interested in losing the canal to the Egyptians and neither were the Israelis. The British and French motivation was to avoid having to pay tolls and worry about crossing easily. The Israeli motivation was to be allowed to continue crossing between the Mediterranean and Red Seas as Egypt did not recognize Israel at the time.Britain and France incentivized Israel (and joined with Israel) to attack Egypt and take the Suez Canal back. Israel successfully conquered all of the Sinai Peninsula and even landed a foothold on the west bank of the Suez Canal (which meant that they effectively controlled it). The United States, however, intervened and requested that Israel withdraw to the 1949 boundaries under the condition that Egypt return the Canal to British and French joint control.Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized the Suez Canal, which angered the British and the French.
Dewitt Clinton approved the idea from a man in debtor's prison who wrote letters of the idea at the time to the state, However other lawmakers thought it was a stupid idea and later it was referred to as Clinton's ditch because of DeWitt Clinton.
