Muhammad Anwar el-Sadat

After the death of Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1970, Anwar Sadat, his deputy, became president of Egypt.

Initially, he had an anti-Zionist approach, so that with the cooperation of Syria, he invaded the Sinai Peninsula to retake it, which had been captured by the Zionist regime in the Six-Day War in 1967, which he initially won.

In the first two days of the war in October 1973, the Egyptian and Syrian armies defeated the Zionist regime, but suddenly Sadat used a wrong tactic, and send 3,000 Egyptian commandos to rest on October 8, which led to strengthening of enemy and defeating Egyptian army, whereas if Sadat had resisted, he could have achieved the greatest Arab victory over "weak Israel."
