1956 The Suez War. Arab terrorism against Israel from Egypt increases. Eventually Egypt blockades the Gulf of Aqaba, and closes the Suez canal to Israeli shipping. Egypt's President Nassar calls for the destruction of Israel. Terrorism against Israel continues. In response to the closing of the canal, Israel, England, and France go to war and force Egypt to end the blockade of Aqaba, and once again open the canal to all nations. Despite Egypt's refusal to recognize the State of Israel, Israel unilaterally withdraws from Egyptian territory.
