1956 CE

A United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) had been established and had begun arriving in Egypt on November 21.

The troops are stationed on the Egyptian side of the Egyptian-Israeli border as well as along the eastern coast of Sinai.

Israel refuses to allow UN troops on its territory.

The UN troops are stationed on the Gulf of Aqaba to ensure the free passage of Israeli shipping to Elat.

The troops will remain in Egypt until 1967, when their removal will contribute to the outbreak of the June 1967 War.
