Editing Casus belli (section)

=== 1967 Arab-Israeli War ===
A ''casus belli'' played a prominent role during the [[Six-Day War]] of 1967. The Israeli government had a short list of ''{{lang|la|casūs belli}}'', acts that it would consider provocations justifying armed retaliation. The most important was a blockade of the [[Straits of Tiran]] leading into [[Eilat]], Israel's only port to the [[Red Sea]], through which Israel received much of its oil. After several border incidents between Israel and [[Egypt]]'s allies [[Syria]] and [[Jordan]], Egypt expelled [[United Nations Emergency Force|UNEF]] peacekeepers from the [[Sinai Peninsula]], established a military presence at [[Sharm el-Sheikh]], and announced a blockade of the straits, prompting Israel to cite its ''casus belli'' in opening hostilities against Egypt.{{Citation needed|date=March 2022}}
