=== 1956 Suez Crisis ===
{{Main|Suez Crisis}}

Through the 1950s, Jordan and Egypt supported the [[Palestinian Fedayeen]] militants' cross-border attacks into Israel, while Israel carried out [[reprisal operations|its own reprisal operations]] in the host countries. The 1956 [[Suez Crisis]] resulted in a short-term Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip and exile of the [[All-Palestine Government]], which was later restored with Israeli withdrawal. The All-Palestine Government was completely abandoned by Egypt in 1959 and was officially merged into the [[United Arab Republic]], to the detriment of the Palestinian national movement. [[Egyptian occupation of the Gaza Strip|Gaza Strip]] then was put under the authority of the Egyptian military administrator, making it a de facto military occupation. In 1964, however, a new organization, the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), was established by Yasser Arafat.<ref name="Baum" /> It immediately won the support of most Arab League governments and was granted a seat in the [[Arab League]].
