Protocol of Sèvres
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Protocol of Sèvres recorded the agreements reached between the governments of Great Britain, France and Israel during discussions held in Sèvres, France between 22nd and 24th October 1956, on a joint politico-military response to Egypt's nationalisation of the Suez Canal.
Sir Anthony Eden, the British Prime Minister at the time, always denied the existence of such a plot, and it is said that he had his copy of the invasion plan destroyed. The original Israeli copy of the Protocol of Sèvres is kept within the Ben-Gurion Archives, Sde Boker, Israel.
