Description

"Israel can never agree to the closing of the straits of Tiran by the Egyptian enemy"

TLS in Hebrew, one page, 6.25 x 8, State of Israel letterhead, February 22, 1956. Letter to Itzhak Tabenkin, a member of the Knesset, Kibbutz Ein-Harod. In part (translated): "The State of Israel can never agree to the closing of the straits of Tiran by the Egyptian enemy and the forbidding of vessels determined for Israel. I must tell you, for over forty years, this has been one of my biggest dreams. I have a special file on Akaba and Eilat as they are of special importance for Israel and the world as well. The importance of Eilat is that she opens for us the way to the peoples of Asia and East Africa, and it is only with our connections to these nations that we have the possibility of self-sufficient economic development in the country." In fine condition, with two filing holes to the right side.
