I told you before that getting the Sinai entirely by military force was not a goal. It was DEPENDING ON THE CAPABILITIES OF THE MILITARY. The goal wasn't "Liberate the Sinai" and that's it. Sadat got specific.The plan of Egypt to recapture the Sinai by military means failed. There's no question about that. At the end of the war there were even Israeli troops in Egypt.
Credit must be given to Sadat who kickstarted the peace proces. Israel willingly accepted and the US supported the deal.
Israel got : Egyptian boycott laws were repealed, demilitarization of Sinai, free passage of Israeli ships through the Suez Canal, and recognition of the Strait of Tiran and the Gulf of Aqaba as international waterways, recognition of Israel by Egypt
Egypt got : Israel leaving Sinai, Egypt receives about $1.3 billion annually from the US.
A UN observation force was blocked by the Soviet Union so the three countries made an observation force outside the UN.
And the very last thing about this war was Israel retreating to the east of the passes 40 kilometers away from the Egyptian soldiers who didn't retreat at all. And they retreated voluntarily fearing for the life of their soldiers as I've shown you before using the quote of Moshe Dayan.
What you said about "Israel got" well...I've no problem on all of them except "demilitarization of the Sinai". It's Egyptian land and Egypt needs permission from them to put some extra troops on Egyptian territory?? Pure political failure from Sadat.
And about the US aid, well....Egypt can only spend this aid on US made weapons which makes sure to give Egypt outdated weapons to keep their ally stronger than Egypt.
One more thing, if politics failed you can't claim that Israel was going to keep the Sinai under it's control. Anything is possible. I'm not saying Israel was not going to be able to keep it or vice versa. I'm just saying that it's not 100% that if the peace agreement didn't happen the Sinai was going to remain for Israel and after the 1973 war kinda calmed down it was going to evolve again into a full-scale war. So, don't try to tell me that the only way Egypt could have gotten the Sinai was through this ridiculous peace treaty.
One final thing, I've said to you before...I don't hate peace with Israel, I support peace worldwide between everyone. But, peace has to be fair, this peace treaty is not and thus, I don't support it.
