Al-Moallem recounts Kissinger on Sadat
Engineer Ibrahim Al-Ma'alam, Chairman of Dar Al-Shorouk, spoke about a meeting he had with former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. During their conversation, Kissinger revealed that one of the biggest mistakes made by the American administration before the October War was not taking President Anwar Sadat's messages seriously. He emphasized that Kissinger observed that the United States was not objective with Egypt in some agreements. Sadat had sent a message to Washington expressing his desire for a just peace, but also stating he was prepared for war. However, the U.S. administration did not treat the possibility of war with the seriousness it deserved. Al-Ma'alam also mentioned that Kissinger noted that Hafez Ismail, Egypt’s National Security Advisor, conveyed a sarcastic oral message during a talk with Nixon, underscoring Sadat’s warnings and the importance of taking Egypt’s stance seriously before the October War.
