What Is The Primary Source Of The Suez Canal Crisis

Identification and Evaluation of Sources:

The question that will be discussed in this paper is “To what extent did the Anti-Zionist actions of Egypt prompt Israeli involvement in the Suez Canal Crisis?”. This essay will address various events and policies, beginning with Israel’s establishment as a state in 1948, that led up to Israeli action against Egypt in 1956.

But this is also a limitation because by failing to even mention other actions that contributed to the tensions between Egypt and Israel, Oren ignores many important actions taken by both the Israelis and the
