Anwar Sadat (December 25, 1918 – October 6, 1981) was the third President of Egypt, serving from 1970 until his assassination. He is best known for leading Egypt in the October War of 1973 and for his historic peace initiative with Israel, which earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978 alongside Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin.

It was in our power to cause the Arab governments to renounce 'the policy of strength' toward Israel by turning it into a demonstration of weakness.”
