The Lavon Affair refers to the scandal over a failed Israeli covert operation in Egypt known as Operation Susannah, in which Israeli military intelligence planted bombs in Egyptian, American and British-owned targets in Egypt in the summer of 1954 in the hopes that "the Muslim Brotherhood, the Communists, 'unspecified malcontents' or 'local nationalists'" would be blamed.

Reflecting a widespread assessment in Pakistan, Moonis Ahmar, a professor of international relations at the University of Karachi, called the attacks a well-thought out conspiracy designed to destabilize relations between India and Pakistan and sabotage efforts at*reconciliation.
