  • Reanalyze the extent to which this conflict was, in fact, a victory for Egypt.(By forcing peace through a position of power Egypt achieved its primary objective of regaining control of the Sinai).


  • (Try to find reliable sources that detail the war specifically on the Golan Heights from the Syrian and/or Iraqi retrospective) - This may be difficult to accomplish given the open nature of Israeli society which tolerates internal discussion as opposed to the regimes in Syria / Iraq which do not.
  • Point to peace initiatives:
    • From Sadat in 1971 and in February 1973 - They both were rejected by Golda Meir's government leaving no choice to the Egyptians to get in the war.
    • From Golda: On 28 February 1973, during a visit in Washington, Golda agreed with Henry Kissinger's peace proposal based on "security versus sovereignty" : Israel would accept Egyptian sovereignty over all Sinai, while Egypt would accept Israeli presence in some of Sinai strategic positions.; The Rabin Memoirs Sadat refused this proposal.
