Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi praised Egypt’s peace treaty with Israel during an event commemorating the 1973 war between the two states.
Sisi spoke on the 48th anniversary of the October war, also known as the Yom Kippur war in Israel. The war began when Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel. Egypt was initially successful on the battlefield, but Israel ultimately won the war. In 1979, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat signed a peace treaty with Israel, and Egypt became the first country in the Arab world to recognize the Jewish state.
