Incoming Leaders - III
Most of the major power leaders were already present and only few were left.
The arrivals of the Israeli Prime Minister, the Egyptian President, and finally the British Prime Minister were meticulously planned, each representing a critical stakeholder in the ongoing crisis.
By now, the security personnel and ceremonial guards were working like a well-oiled machine, their movements precise and coordinated.
Yet, the tension among the Indian officials was palpable, especially as the UK's arrival came closer.
Because even though the ceasefire has been called it still cannot change the feeling of war against United Kingdom.
The first of the three to land was the Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion.
His visit came with its own set of sensitivities, given Israel's aggressive involvement in the Suez Crisis and its alliances with Britain and France.
