The episode revealed that the secret Sèvres Agreement between Britain, France and Israel paved the way for the attack on Sinai on 29 October 1956, following Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalisation of the Suez Canal on 26 July that year. Under the plan, Israel would attack Sinai, after which Britain and France would intervene under the pretext of protecting shipping, while seeking to take control of the Canal Zone. The invading forces bombed Egyptian airfields and landed troops in Port Said. Popular resistance and international pressure thwarted the aggression and forced the troops to withdraw, prompting widespread condemnation of Britain and France and the resignation of British Prime Minister Anthony Eden. The failed attack strengthened Nasser’s standing in the Arab world and bolstered support for the Algerian Revolution.
