The Guardian correspondent Michael Adams noted in 1958 that the Egyptian government ultimately only expelled a small minority of the Jewish population of Egypt, though many Jews also left of their own accord.[12] This is supported by Laskier[13] who claims: "It is estimated that as early as the end of November 1956 at least 500 Egyptian and stateless Jews had been expelled from Egypt". In contrast, Max Elstein Keisler claims that "around 25 000 Jews were expelled that year (1956)",[14] equivalent to all of the Jews who left Egypt in 1956.[13]
