Anwar Sadat, Speech to the Israeli Knesset
20 November 1977 (Translated from Hebrew)

Speaker:  Anwar Sadat
Audience:
  • Delivered his speech in Arabic to the Israeli Knesset (in Hebrew this means "the gathering"or the "assembly". ) This body is responsible to passing all Israeli laws and electing the PM and President
  • The audience was hostile to an extent, as this was the man who had waged war on Israel four years before.

Context:.
  • Sadat succeeded Gamal Abdel NASSER as the third President of Egypt in 1970
  • This had occurred after the fourth conflict in the Arab-Israeli War in 1973, also known as the "October" or "Yom Kippur" war, which lasted from 6th October - 25 October, 1973.  Initially, Egypt and Syria made substantial gains, although the Israeli Army managed to rout the Syrian and Egyptian armies respectively
  • The speech was delivered before the Knesset in 1977, to an audience that was hostile, especially meeting with the President of a country who had invaded Israel four years previously.

Consequences:
  • Egypt was expelled from the Arab League from 1978 - 1989
  • A peace between Israel and Egypt was created, hosted by the US and then President Jimmy Carter, which became known as the Camp David Accords
  • Sadat and Menachem Begin were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize
  • Sadat was assassinated by a member of his bodyguard on October 6, 1981
Ideas:
  • Desire for Peace
  • Justice
  • Commonality of humanity
  • Religious similarity (linked to above) as Abrahamic religions
Common techniques used:
  • Religious allusions and references
