ANWAR: SADAT, a maverick in the world of
diplomacy who stunned Arabs “and Israelis alike
by going to the Jerusalem parliament and pleading

for peace, concluded the first treaty between an

Arab nation and the Jewish state and shared the

Nobel Peace Prize.

The charismatic Egyptian
leader, who also staged the
most successful of Egypt's
four wars against the Jewish
state, was assassinated
Tuesday at the age of 62 on
the eighth anniversary of the
start of the Yom Kippur
War.

Of peasant stock and
proud of what he called
‘village ethics”, Sadat
showed an “uncanny knack

for well-timed, bold
initiatives, which included
expelling 15,000 Soviet
advisers in 1972.

Four years later, Sadat
abrogated the Soviet-
Egyptian Friendship and

Cooperation Treaty because
the Kremlin refused to
supply promised weapons

But his pragmatism
provoked anger in other
Arab nations and inside
Egypt. His popularity waned
as Islamic fundamentalism
increased.

As statesman and leader
of the most powerful and
populous Arab nation, his
two most sensational acts
were” waging the most
successful modern Arab war
against Israel in October
1973, and journeying to
Jerusalem to plead for peace
in the Israeli “lion den”
itself, the Knesset, or
parliament of the Jewish
state.

Sixteen months later, in
March 1979, Sadat con-
cluded the first peace treaty
between Israel] and any Arab
state and declared the

headed toward peace and
there could be no retreat.

The majority of Arab
states and the Palestinians
denounced Sadat as a
traitor, broke off diplomatic
relations, suspended
economic aid to Egypt and
moved the Arab league
headquarters from Cairo to
Tunis.

In another maverick move
in March 1970, Sadat gave
refuge to the late Shah of
Iran- when the world had
turned its back on _ the
former “king of kings” and
then. pave a royal funeral to
the monarch, who died in
exile in Egypt.

It was in the seclusion of
Camp David and with direct
intervention of President
Carter, that Sadat and Israeli
Prime Minister Menachem
Begin managed to work out
a twin framework for peace,
one Egyptian-Israeli, and the
second. dealing with the
Palestinian problem, on
Sept. 17, 1978. Bothteaders
then shared the Nobel peace
prize in a 1978.

But the Egyptian-Israeli
treaty opened the way for
the Israeli withdrawal from
Sinai and the establishment

of normal relations between ,

the two countries, including
the exchange of am-
bassadors and the opening of
the common border. .

Sadat, who had been a
vice president, took power
Sept. 18, 1970, after the
death of Gamal Abdel

Nasser, but few diplomats
took him or his warnings of
war seriously. His critics
poked fun at him .when he
called 1971 the “year of
decision” in the Arab-Israeli
conflict and failed to make it
so.
