2. article fails to mention role of Tiran Str in 1956 Sinai war
Conquest of Sharm-el-Sheikh and opening Straits of Tiran was one of the primary - and successful - objectives of Operation Kadesh.
Israel's maritime freedom thru the Straits and into the Red Sea has been too important and costly in terms of past wars to be taken for granted in discussions by Egypt & Saudia.
The reporter also owes it to the sacrifices of the past and the families involved to not ignore these events.
