Former Culture Minister: Foreign intel missed October 1973 crossing
Dr. Abdel-Wahab Al-Nabawi, the former Minister of Culture, affirmed that Egypt has been a state of institutions since ancient times. He mentioned that Egypt established an institution dedicated to preserving documents thousands of years ago, noting that Muhammad Ali collected documents and developed the Egyptian Document House, which now houses 110 million documents dating back to the Fatimid era. He explained that a portion of the war documents, especially those related to the October War of 1973, are held by the Ministry of Defense. He also highlighted that the Egyptian people strongly supported the army after the 1967 setback through donations and volunteering. He revealed that U.S. intelligence failed to uncover the exact timing of the Egyptian forces crossing the Suez Canal during the October War of 1973. Additionally, Israel lost 400 tanks in the early days of the conflict, while the United States organized the largest airlift in history to support Israel. Despite substantial American support for Israel, Egypt ultimately achieved a military victory.
