Operation Verdict
The French plan to arrest Nasser
and capture the Suez Canal




France was eager to implement, "Operation Verdict " which depends on advancing the French troops southwards, to Ismailia , then branch both to Cairo to either arrest or assasinate Nasser and tumble his government .. In the meantime, the rest of the selected units would proceed to Suez , to capture the complete water way of the Suez Canal.

Britain opposed implementing this plan, that was to be commanded by General Jaques Massu
