Tuhia he tomokanga mō tēnei whitiāhua - Kāore ngā pātahitanga i waenganui i a Iharaira me ōna hoa tata o Arapi i whakahoutia i muri i te Pakanga Arab-Israeli Tuatahi
i te tau 1948-1949. I te tau 1956, ka whakaekehia e Iharaira a Ihipa, nā reira i puta ai te raruraru o Suez. I roto i nga take o Iharaira mo te whakaekenga ko tana whaainga ki te whakatuwhera ano i te Straits o Tiran, i katia e Ihipa mo nga kaipuke katoa o Iharaira mai i te 1950. I te mutunga ka akina a Iharaira ki te wehe atu, engari i whakamanahia ka noho tuwhera tonu te Straits. I tohatohahia he roopu pupuri i te rangimarie e mohiotia ana ko te United Nations Emergency Force (UNEF) i te rohe o Ihipa-Israel, engari kaore he kirimana whakakorenga i waenga i nga taha e rua.
