Why Did The Yom Kippur War Happen?

On the 6th October 1973 Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel. They had chosen to attack on the day of Yom Kippur, believing that it would give them an advantage. The news stunned Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Golda Meir, because Israeli Intelligence had believed there was a low probability of war. In this video, we cover the conflicts leading up to the Yom Kippur War, and the reasons that led to another war in 1973.

    Disagree. It’s a good attempt but glosses over what a lot of Israeli and western retellings give short shrift to: Palestinians have legitimate claims to the land having lived there as the majority population for centuries, and legitimate grievances as most of the land transferred to Jewish Israelis was bought out from underneath Palestinians without their consent, taken under color of law, or purposefully emptied via forms of terrorism. There’s a reason Palestinians call the experience The Nakba (The Catastrophe). Until and not unless their story gets a fair hearing will there be peace. I’d say the same for Israeli Jews. Mutual understanding is the only path to a solution.

    As an American history teacher who is Jewish & been to Israel & Egypt (& studied both histories immensely), I have to say this video (like all of your videos) are incredibly well researched & produced. I feel bad for Sadat, as he did something incredibly brave in his recognition of Israel after the Khartoum Resolution. Who knows how many people this peace between Israel & Egypt has saved. Unfortunately, some hard-liners in Egypt disagreed, and Sadat was assassinated a few years later by his own people. The same would happen to Israeli PM Yitzhak Rabin in 1995, who was murdered by an Israeli who was angry over the Oslo Accords peace deal with the PLO & Arafat. Sadly, as we have seen with these two and with Ghandhi and MLK and countless others - fighting for peace is often not very popular and can be quite dangerous.

He did this while also managing to get Syria down with the sinking ship voluntarily and with them not even gaining anything.

    It's important to note that it's not that Israeli intelligence didn't acquire the necessary information about Arab intentions - the Mossad absolutely did, they had exact knowledge of when it was going to happen from their agents in top Arab command - but hubris made the Israeli leadership lean on the wrong conception. In fact, the very word "conception" (transliterated in Hebrew as "conceptzia") has become strongly and negatively associated with the Yom Kippur war in Israeli Hebrew.

    Many in Egypt's military leadership also failed to see the benefits of recognizing Israel, and were angered by the 1978 Camp David peace treaty. This ultimately led to Sadat's assassination by fundamentalist officers in the Egyptian Army. He used the newfound peace to gain support for resolving the Palestinian independence solution, which might have been more feasible if he had not been killed before his work came to fruition.

They had double superiority in tanks and aircraft, triple in artillery, and in air defense and anti-tank weapons they had absolute supremacy. And what? Once again they were beaten. Once again they scrammed. Once again they screamed for us to come save them. Sadat woke me up in the middle of the night twice over the phone, "Save me!" He demanded to send Soviet troops, and immediately! No! We are not going to fight for them." 4 November1973

As for the third army, it was in no way under the threat of annihilation, it is also another piece of propaganda despite the Israelis admitting the third army under encirclement still kept pushing and gaining more land. Kissinger didn't prevent anything really, as the damage to the Israelis was done, and their objective failed. Now let's assume the already halted logistically ill units somehow kept moving west, the silly idea that they would face no resistance is media propaganda to just make the position of the Israelis in Sinai less catastrophic as it actually were. Also stop acting so full of yourselves when 3 weeks right after the defeat of 1967 the Israeli army tried to attack a Sinai city called Ras El Esh which is right next to the canal and failed miserably resulting in an undisputed Egyptian victory. the Israelis forces were: 1 Mechanized Infantry Battalion 1 Tank company 1 Bomber squadron The Egyptian forces were: 30 thunderbolt soldiers. the battle happened on 1st July 1967 and the area never fell to the Israelis. to conclude all of this: Israel loves to propagate itself as the victim, at the same time as the undefeated and strongest. in reality a victim like that has no chance of overpowering an actually well prepared very strong army. the reality was the Israelis were far stronger. and highly equipped. Israel didn't fight the Egyptians in the 6 day war, and many of their leaders who had some sense of logic admitted they didn't really defeat the Egyptian army at that war. And if you are not an Israeli, or even if you are, just know that your media be it Israeli or western, would never share to you the reality of that war.

    I was stationed in the Sinai in 1995 as part of the MFO. We were told that the Israelis, as they were withdrawing from the Sinai, offered to sell to Egypt all of the structures they had built during their stay (like the buildings at the airfield where we landed). Of course, the Egyptians said no. So Israel blew up all of the buildings they built. Rather funny, I think.

You are correct.

At the end of Yom Kippur IDF just 50 miles away from Cairo, the Egyptian Third Army found itself trapped situation. The Sinai peninsula was returned to Egypt in 1979, not 1973 with a joint consensus. Moreover, the soviet union aided much more arabs than the USA helped Israel. All arabic armies were equipped with the latest tech soviet SAMs and anti-tank guns at this war.
