Question
Write a short note on the question of Suez Canal.

Answer

  • In 1956, Colonel Nisser of Egypt nationalized the Suez Canal.
  • As a result, the economic interests of Britain and France were jeopardized.
  • So these two nations invaded Egypt with the help of Israel.
  • Some non-aligned countries (states) in the world, such as India, passed a resolution calling for the withdrawal of foreign troops from Egypt and the establishment of an international police force for the Suez Canal.
  • Following the implementation of this resolution, Britain and France withdrew their troops from Egypt.
  • But Israel did not.
  • As a result, the United Nations passed a resolution calling on all nations to suspend economic and military aid to Israel, and Israel withdrew its troops.
  • Thus, with successful UN diplomacy, global peace was maintained and the question of the Suez Canal was resolved peacefully.
