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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Sadat ever regret signing the Camp David Accords?
No, he defended the agreement until his death, calling it 'the beginning of peace, not its end.' He acknowledged its incompleteness, especially regarding Palestinian rights, but viewed Sinai’s full return and Egypt’s regained sovereignty as irreversible strategic gains. Privately, he expressed frustration with Israel’s settlement expansion post-1979, yet maintained that withdrawing from war was itself a moral victory. His final speech at the October 1981 military parade reaffirmed his commitment to the treaty.
How did Sadat’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood evolve during his presidency?
Initially cooperative, Sadat released Brotherhood leaders jailed under Nasser and tolerated their social institutions, but relations soured by 1977 as the Brotherhood condemned his peace overtures to Israel and demanded stricter Islamic law. Sadat cracked down in 1981, arresting thousands including Brotherhood figures, citing plots against the state. This repression contributed to the coalition of extremists, including Islamist officers, who assassinated him months later.
What was Sadat’s economic policy shift known as Infitah, and why did it provoke unrest?
Infitah (‘Open Door’) liberalized Egypt’s socialist economy in 1974, encouraging foreign investment and private enterprise while cutting subsidies. Though it attracted Gulf capital and built infrastructure, it widened inequality, inflated prices, and eroded Nasser-era social contracts. The 1977 ‘Bread Intifada’, mass riots against subsidy cuts, forced Sadat to reverse course temporarily, revealing the tension between his diplomatic boldness and domestic economic fragility.
Why did Sadat expel Soviet advisors in 1972, and what risks did it entail?
He expelled 20,000 Soviet military personnel to assert Egypt’s independence from Moscow and signal openness to U.S. engagement, essential for any future peace process with Israel. The move risked immediate military vulnerability, as Egypt lost technical support for its Soviet-supplied arsenal. Yet Sadat calculated correctly: it cleared diplomatic space for the 1973 war’s political aftermath and made Washington indispensable to Egypt’s security architecture.
