Arab–Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973
Prior to the 1967 war, Egypt had repeatedly closed
the canal to Israeli shipping as a defensive
measure, refusing to open the canal in 1949 and
during the 1956 Suez Crisis. Egypt did so despite
UN Security Council resolutions from 1949 and
1951 urging it not to, claiming that hostilities had
ended with the 1949 armistice agreement.
On 16 May 1967, when Nasser ordered the UNEF
peacekeeping forces out of the Sinai Peninsula,
including the Suez Canal area, Egyptian troops
were sent into Sinai to take their place.
Israel protested Nasser's order to close the Straits
of Tiran to Israeli trade on 21 May, the same year.
This halted Israeli shipping between the port of
Eilat and the Red Sea
After the 1967 Six-Day War, Israeli forces occupied
the Sinai Peninsula, including the entire east bank
of the Suez Canal. In the following years the
tensions between Egypt and Israeli intensified and
from March 1969 until August 1970, a war of
attrition took place as the then Egyptian president,
Gamal Abdel Nasser, tried to retake the territories
occupied by Israel during the conflict.
The fighting ceased after the death of Nasser in
1970. After this conflict there were no changes in
the distribution of territory, but the underlying
tensions persisted.
Unwilling to allow the Israelis to use the canal,
Egypt immediately imposed a blockade which
closed the canal to all shipping immediately after
the beginning of the Six-Day War. The canal
remained blocked for eight years. There was no
anticipation of this event and consequently
fifteen cargo ships, known as the "Yellow Fleet",
were trapped in the canal, and remained there
until its reopening in 1975.
On 6 October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War,
the canal was the scene of the Operation Badr, in
which the Egyptian military crossed the Suez
Canal into Israeli-occupied Sinai Peninsula. Much
wreckage from this conflict remains visible along
the canal's edges.
Arab oil exporters, sympathetic to Egypt, pushed
OPEC to raise the price of crude oil by around 17
percent and eventually imposed an embargo
against the United States and other Israeli allies.
