IOTL, Gamal Abdel Nasser, Egypt's second president (and often regarded as a national hero there, if still with controversies), almost fell victim to an assassination attempt in 1954. He was giving a speech when, allegedly, eight shots flew near him. Surprisingly, Nasser survived. It is suspected that the perpetrator was a Muslim Brotherhood member.

The Suez Canal question?
Future wars between Israel and the arab states?
Egyptian politics, and MENA politics overall?
The Muslim Brotherhood?
