Suez Crisis - 2024 PACE NSC

Question

After this event, one leader stayed at Ian Fleming’s estate for a month amid concerns of his benzedrine addiction. Joel Beinin traced a mass expulsion that occurred during this event to distrust from the Lavon Affair two years prior. (20[1])The Sixth Fleet blocked the IMF (20[1])from sending aid (20[1])during this event (20[2])despite one leader’s insistence that the Americans would “lie doggo.” (20[2])One side during (20[1])this event launched Operation (20[1])(*) Musketeer (10[1])to open up (10[3])the Straits (10[3])of Tiran. (10[4])Lester Pearson (10[2])won a Nobel Peace Prize (10[2])for mediating this event’s (10[1])end, after which Anthony Eden resigned. For (10[2])10 points, (10[1])name this 1956 conflict (10[1])in which France, Britain, and Israel (10[2])jointly invaded Egypt over a structure nationalized (10[1])by Gamal Abdel Nasser. ■END■ (10[3])

ANSWER: Suez Crisis [or the Suez Canal Crisis; accept Tripartite Aggression] (The second clue refers to Nasser’s expulsion of Egyptian Jews.)
