sadat led egypt in war with israel. sadat made the decision to pursue peace. when he made that decision, he went to jerusalem and delivered a speech before the israelis. that he went to the -- it was courageous in itself. what took real courage was what he said there. sadat did not go to jerusalem on bended knee. he spoke in no uncertain term about the hard concessions he expected from the israelis. then he said the words that both he and the world knew marked a turning point. he said to the israeli legislature, you want to live with us in this part of the world. in all sincerity, i tell you, we welcome you among us. with full security and safety. we used to reject you. yet today i tell you and declare it to the whole world that we accept to live with you in permanent peace, based on justice. these were the words that led to peace between egypt and israel. it was not an easy process. it took another 16 months of tough negotiations to reach a peace treaty. both sides made difficult compromises. but sadat's words helped make israel understand that it had a partn

where is the palestinian anwar sadat? if president abbas demonstrates he can be that type of leader, we would welcome it. his recent actions demonstrate the total opposite. the united states remains deeply committed to helping the israelis and palestinians reach a historic peace agreement that brings a better future to both peoples, just as we did successfully with the egyptians and the jordanians. but we will not chase after a palestinian leadership that lacks what needs -- what is needed to achieve peace. to get historic results, we need courageous leaders. history has provided such leaders in the past. for the sake of the palestinian and israeli people, we pray it does so again. thank you. >> all right. some very interesting remarks there from u.n. ambassador nikki haley. i want to bring in cnn global affairs correspondent elise laffit and aaron david miller, cnn global affairs analyst and vp and distinguished scholar at the woodrow wilson international center. elise, she's responding to a speech from president abbas w

sadat accepted resolution 242 , which i will talk about in a minute, which recognized the state of israel under the terms of land for peace. the arabs would return the land. israel would return the sinai to egypt, but not the west bank or the goal line or the palestinian territories. his defeat was not only a military defeat, but also ideological. it was a particular kind of leftism that no longer seemed to be a viable solution to stave off western encroachment and did not successfully combat israel. egypt no longer sat at the helm of middle eastern politics as the deacon against american and israeli aggression. the defeat in 1967, coupled with years of oppression of the muslim brotherhood, began an ideological shift in the region that would culminate most dramatically during the iranian revolution of in 1979. february 1968, industrial workers in and egyptian delta city outside cairo took to the streets and protested the leniency of the sentences handed down to the egyptian air force generals who lost the war against israel in 1967. the air force was largely blamed for the loss. shortly t

when sadat came to israel in 1977, she was at the airport to greet him along with other dignitaries. and when he met her, he said i've wanted to meet you for such a long time, and she said, why didn't you come? [laughter] and he said, the time was not yet ripe. he had needed this war to restore arab pride that had been so badly beaten during the '67 war. golda died in 1978. she never saw the final peace treaty with, between israel and egypt. she died at the age of 80. she had been fighting a terrible lymphoma for 15 years and kept it secret from everybody. so golda mair had many flaws. she could be rigid, she could be tough, she could be sarcastic. she didn't totally understand the jews that came from arab lands. she was so committed to the soviet j well, -- jews, she certainly did not understand palestinian nationalism, nor did most people at that time. everybody was dealing with the states. egypt, lebanon, jordan and so on rather than with the palestinian people. but golda was a leader. gold that --gold la my year gave up much of her family life and her health for that vision. and
