Ex-Egyptian envoy on prisoner repatriation
Former Egyptian ambassador to Israel, Atef Salem, spoke about the events of the October War of 1973, confirming that Israel made adjustments to its national security lines after the war and that it has not disclosed reports from the Agranat Commission, which investigated the causes of its defeat. He explained that Israel surrendered 300 prisoners of war during the conflict, including 42 prisoners who had been captured by Egyptian forces. The return of the prisoners to Israel through the Kastrup was a significant shock for them, he noted, adding that Egypt followed a well-planned strategy in managing prisoners and the deceased. He also mentioned that the scene of the prisoners’ return had a profound psychological impact on the Israelis.
