but the egyptian plan was to stay put. yet forty eight hours later president sadat gave a new and surprising order to his woman ista general. they were to go ahead with just the second phase the advance that it had been waiting for you. on october eleventh. came to me and said we want to advance to the past as i told him it was not possible for many reasons and one can actually get it to. get moshe he came again on the twelfth and said we want to go ahead with the advance to take the pressure off syria i told him we can take the pressure off syria the enemy air force is capable of holding any front west then he said with a get. well again on the for wealth for the third time he said no this is a political decision and it has to be implemented c.s.e. or with their fees. after a long debate with a shadley general a smile issued orders to the commanders of egypt second and third field to begin the advance east. yeah there were also mobiles that immediately both of them called me and said we can carry out orders the minister s

egyptian cuisine is so underrated.ents and by all the historical tours. that is really the reason why a lot of people come here but nobody really comes here for the food. the tours were launched just one year ago and include the area that borders tahrir square, the site of the 201! uprising. prior to the revolution this place was very popular as the area where students from the american university, on the right, used to hang out and have their coffee. the aim is to offer small groups a genuine and perhaps grittier cairo experience through walking, history, culture and food. first on my tour is a family—owned business which specialises in the country's most ubiquitous dish. so, this is koshary. it is the national dish of egypt. you can get a very gourmet one, you can get a deconstructed one. you have lentils, chickpeas, fried onions, rice, macaroni. all in this one dish! yes. it is typical of middle eastern food. a melting pot of influences from former rulers such as the ottomans, to mediterranean countries and beyond.

in june one nine hundred sixty seven in a matter of hours israel decimated the egyptian air force. israeli ground troops seized the sinai peninsula overran syria's golan heights and occupied east jerusalem the west bank and gaza. the arab world was shocked and stunned the arabs lost what remained of palestine. and even more palestinians were for. to flee their homes. but i have felt vindicated. in the arab states had yet again proved incapable of defeating israel. without abrasions in disarray the past now lay open for the palestinians to fight for themselves. again at the more serious than what akon can it have his. ear in without the poet the defeat in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven was very painful that apart at the same time it was a great incentive for us to work harder and achieve something and that at the minute i heard. that story after the war i used to make my way from the lebanese border to syria on to jordan i was never questioned my car was full of weapons the arab armies were defeated broken we used to go to the golan together weapons left by that treating syri
