Israel conquered the Sinai and was forced to relinquish it in 1956. In 1973, the Sinai Peninsula (under Israeli Occupation) served as a strong buffer to the Egyptian surprise invasion attempt.

Did Israel take the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt in the Arab-Israeli War of 1967?
Yes. Israel took the Sinai Peninsula twice (1956 and 1967) and returned it twice (1957 and 1979-1982). In both cases Israel took the Sinai Peninsula because Egypt was posing a threat to Israel and rather than fight a defensive war within Israeli borders, Israel decided to fight an offensive war. In both 1956 and 1967, Egypt declare a ceasefire without a resolution, meaning that the armistices (with the Sinai securely in Israeli hands) became the de facto borders. Israel withdrew in 1957 due to American pressure and withdrew in 1979-1982 due to a final, lasting peace treaty with Egypt.
