In the middle 1950s, France became a staunch ally of Israel, supplying weapons. After Egypt nationalized the Canal, France decided upon military action in alliance with Israel. France also blamed Nasser for the rebellion in Algeria. French paratroopers helped seize the Suez Canal. Hundreds died in the assault on Egypt and more were wounded.
This medal was awarded to soldiers: 'Commemorating the operations in the Middle East 1956'.
Marked by the Paris Mint. Original ribbon. Diameter 3 cm. full length 8.8 cm. please see photos for self-grading.
