Mostafa el-Nahhas

As prime minister, el-Nahhas signed the Anglo-Egyptian Treaty, which granted Egypt greater sovereignty but allowed British troops to remain in the Suez Canal zone. The treaty was controversial among nationalists who sought full independence.

As prime minister, el-Nahhas oversaw Egypt's military intervention in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The war ended in defeat for Arab forces, leading to the establishment of Israel and a political crisis in Egypt.

King Farouk dismissed el-Nahhas as prime minister in January 1952 amid political instability and corruption allegations. This dismissal contributed to the growing discontent that led to the 1952 Egyptian Revolution.

El-Nahhas was not directly involved in the 1956 nationalization; this event is incorrectly attributed. Correct event: El-Nahhas served as prime minister during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, leading Egypt's involvement.
