SUMMARY:The 1956 Suez Crisis: Seventy Years On
DESCRIPTION:What happened then? What is its meaning now?\n\nTo mark the seventieth anniversary of one of the most dramatic episodes in post-war British history, the European Parliament Liaison Office in the United Kingdom and the Sir Edward Heath Charitable Foundation present a special seminar examining the legacy of the 1956 Suez Crisis.\nIn November 1956, Britain, France and Israel launched a military intervention in Egypt following President Nasser’s nationalisation of the Suez Canal. The operation rapidly unravelled when the United States refused its support, exposing divisions within the Western alliance and reshaping Britain’s role in world affairs.\nSeventy years later, this expert panel will explore the causes and consequences of the crisis, its impact on Europe, America and the Middle East, and the lessons that can still be drawn from it today.\nSpeakers\nAlain Lamassoure\nFormer French Minister for Europe and Budget; former Member of the European Parliament\nSir Vernon Bogdanor\nProfessor at King’s College London; constitutional historian and author\nLord David Hannay\nFormer British Ambassador to the European Union and the United Nations\nDr Laura James\nDeputy Director and Senior Middle East Analyst, Oxford Analytica\nModerator: Anthony Teasdale\nVisiting Professor at the London School of Economics and Columbia University; former Treasury and Foreign Office adviser\nEvent Details\nDate: Thursday 5 November 2026\nDoors Open: 5.30pm\nDiscussion Begins: 6.00pm\nReception: 7.30pm\nVenue: Europe House, 32 Smith Square, London SW1P 3EU, and online\nThe discussion will be followed by a reception to which all participants are invited.\nRegistration: Advance booking required via Eventbrite.
