| | Sinai Peninsula - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In 1948, Egyptian forces passed through Sinai on their way to invade the newly-created state of Israel based on a United Nations mandate dividing the land between the Jews and the Christian and Muslim inhabitants. | | | In 1956, Egypt used its control of Sinai to impose a blockade on the Israeli port of Eilat. | | | Catherine in the southern Sinai Peninsula claims to be the site of Biblical Mount Sinai, though historians and archeologists generally reject this as the site. |

| | Why did Israel surrender the Sinai Peninsula |
| | Following Walt’s argument, some scholars claim that Israel's agreement to the Sinai II Accords was to guarantee American support (Inbar 1997, Sachar 1987 ad 1997, and Stein 1999). | | | The “Land for Peace” approach was the essence of the Sinai II agreement, confirmed by Article I of the Sinai II Accords (Reich 1995). | | | The Sinai’s depth allowed for a retreating defense before the Israeli heartland would be in danger. |

| | Is Jebel Musa the Correct Mt. Sinai? |
| | We are ASSUMING that Mt. Sinai is somewhere in the tongue of land at the head of the Red Sea, between the two arms of that sea which constitute respectively the GULF OF AKABA and the Gulf of Suez. | | | The location of Horeb, or Sinai, SOMEWHERE IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN is evidently well supported....Examination of the [biblical] narrative tends to confirm this view. | | | To prove his theory, Beke set out for the Sinai region in an attempt to identify the PRECISE PEAK that might have been responsible. |

| | Is Mt. Sinai in Saudi Arabia, by Gordon Franz |
| | First, the credibility of the claims will be questioned. | | | If there were any military units left in Sinai, either from an expedition to the turquoise mines in Southern Sinai or guarding the "Ways of Horus" in Northern Sinai, what Egyptian military commander in his right mind would want to confront Israel?! | | | In 1978, Wyatt claimed to have discovered the Red Sea crossing at Newaba in the Gulf of Akaba (the eastern branch of the Red Sea) and some of "pharaoh's chariot wheels." This led Wyatt to conclude that Mt. Sinai must be in Saudi Arabia. |

| | Israel also lost electronic early-warning stations situated on Sinai mountaintops that provided data on military movement on the western side of the Suez Canal, as well as the areas near the Gulf of Suez and the Gulf of Eilat, which were vital to defending against an attack from the east. | | | Because Egypt insisted that Jewish civilians leave the Sinai, 7,000 Israelis were uprooted from their homes and businesses, which they had spent years building in the desert. | | | Anwar Sadat agreed to limit anti-Israel propaganda in the Egyptian press and to end his country's participation in the Arab boycott. |
