Turner Ross · Answer 1

The correct answer is C. Israel agreed to play a role in the Suez Crisis to protect its own political and territorial needs in the region.

Explanation:

The Suez Crisis started in 1956 in Egyptian territory. The conflict was between Egypt and an alliance formed by the State of Israel, France and the United Kingdom, following the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egypt on July 26th. This alliance between two European states and Israel served common interests: the European nations had political, economic (majority shareholders) and commercial (mainly for oil transport) interests in the Suez Canal. Israel needed the opening of the canal for its maritime transport, but justified its military intervention against Egypt as a response to the fedayeen attacks it suffered on its territory. The overthrow of Nasser was also expected.
