Egypt Closes Canal as Israel Expands War Across Four Nations
The Suez Canal was closed as Israel pushed the Middle East war into four neighboring countries. Israeli forces pressed in Egypt’s Sinai and advanced into Jordan and Syria while bombing Iraqi airfields. Oil supplies from Iraq and Kuwait were halted in response to U.S. and British naval involvement denied by those governments. The conflict featured air superiority claims, Jordanian and Syrian incursions, and heavy fighting around El Arish and Gaza as Egypt accused Western powers of backing Israel.
