Description:

This paper explains the puzzling life of Egyptian Ashraf Marwan, son-in-law of Gamal Abdel Nasser and confident of Anwar Sadat, who was also an agent of the Israeli Mossad. Next, the author explores in detail the reigns of Nasser and Sadat, the government of Israel during this period, the Six Day War of 1967, the Yom Kippur War and the Truce between Israel and Egypt. The paper concludes that, although Palestinians and Israelis have far from common interests, they could live together in peace by each accepting the other's system and solutions in favor of a truce as in the days of Sadat and Marwan.

From the Paper:

"With the end of the revolution and the overthrowing of the king, control of the Egyptian state was taken by General Neguib, the main leader of the revolution. According to Haikal, Nasser let someone else officially take the leadership due to his modesty and the fact that his ambitions were far from being in he spot lights. This is, of course, the slightly romanticized version of the historic figure. There are probably different explanations for his decision not to step up yet that are much more likely to have something in common with the practical and also tactical considerations on Nasser's part. The general however lacked the qualities of a good leader and resigned from his Prime Minister function two years later. The position was then assumed by Nasser, who, in 1956, became the President of Egypt. From that point on, Nasser started a political career as a controversial Arab leader, the father of a young republic as the form of government for an independent Egypt and also the founder of the United Arab Republic, which had however a short-lived existence.
"Nasser began his carrier in politics once the group of the Free Officers was created, in 1949. He was the author and the leader of the group which enjoyed an open minded leading style since the group decisions were always taken after strong debates at the leadership level."
