Their conversation opened against the background of the crisis that had broken out a few days earlier when President Nasser of Egypt suddenly nationalized the Suez Canal. Alphand referred to the seriousness of the situation as they were both about to leave Europe:
Serious! Serious! Don’t make me laugh. All decided. It is over (huge operatic laugh). The English will accept a compromise which will allow them to save face in the Suez affair … The Americans will not act and you will see that once again it is us the French who will carry the cost of the operation … In this situation if one does not act in 48 hours all is lost. But, what can one do, de Gaulle was not there.62
