The study showes that the Sinai attack of the Israeli army was not decided in late October 1956. The evidence indicates that there has been a long term intention to seize the Sinai Peninsula at the appropriate moment. The motives behind this aim were, as always, a fluctuating combination of religious-historical dreams, strategic designs, political necessity, and self-defence. The secret plan of the operation „Kadesh“ was ready on 5 October 1956 and became a part of the tripartite aggression against Egypt.
