On this occasion, Sisi presided over a meeting of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces.

It is worth mentioning that, ‘October War’, also known as the ‘1973 Arab–Israeli War’, was a war fought by the coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria against Israel from October 6 to 25, 1973.

The war eventually led to Israeli forces withdrawing from the Sinai Peninsula on 25 April 1982 after 15 years of occupation, based on a peace treaty signed between Egypt and Israel in 1979.
