Context: Israel occupied it in 1956 and left after 4 months (November 1956 to early 1957) and then again in 1967. The Egyptians never intended to keep Gaza or annex parts of Palestine the way Israel did eventually. Some Israeli historians describe their approach as legalistic and respecting of international laws of war, unlike Israel.
