In the text of 'Ma nishtana' mention the threat of the Egyptians from the south:' Ma nishtana ... Of all the nights we tell in the Exodus while the danger of Egypt is hovering over our heads? ', The text of 'Vehi sheamda' omits the name of G-d:' In every generation stand to destroy us and we Saved to life from them'.

On July 18, 1956, British forces withdrew from the Suez Canal in agreement with the Egyptians. The military buildup and backing from Jordan and Syria, as well as the need to finance the construction of the Aswan Dam, led Egypt by Gamal Abdel Nasser, to announce the July 26, 1956 nationalization of the Suez Canal Company. Which in fact exacerbated the Egyptian threat to Israel that eventually led to the "Sinai War."
