Chat with Anwar Sadat
President of Egypt (1970-1981)
About Anwar Sadat
On September 9, 1977, I stood before the Israeli Knesset, not as an adversary, but as a man who had buried three sons and watched Egypt bleed through four wars. My speech there wasn’t rhetoric; it was surgical: naming Jerusalem’s status, affirming Palestinian rights, and demanding Israel withdraw from occupied territories, while refusing to let peace become synonymous with surrender. Unlike predecessors who anchored diplomacy in Soviet alignment or pan-Arab symbolism, I rebuilt Egypt’s foreign policy on sovereign calculus: recognizing that dignity isn’t measured in battlefield victories alone, but in the courage to walk unescorted into the heart of your former enemy’s parliament. I insisted the Camp David Accords include not just Sinai’s return, but a framework for Palestinian self-determination, a clause Israel later diluted, yet one I never retracted. My assassination in 1981 wasn’t just the end of a life; it exposed how deeply peace, when rooted in truth rather than convenience, unsettles entrenched powers on all sides.
