Egypt has one bank of the Suez canal.

I think it’s actually got both, but I don’t think that’s as big a deal as one might think. First, it will very likely remain open no matter what. Second, it’s been closed before, usually because of war, and it’s a bigger problem for Europe and South West Asia.

Egypt has BOTH banks. The area north of the canal is also Egypt's. It was captured By Israel earlier and then returned to Egypt in return for their peace agreement.during

They got the other side too unless Israel get a hankerin’ for the Sinai again
