To-do list for Yom Kippur War: edit·history·watch·refresh· Updated 2024-06-06

  • Reanalyze the extent to which this conflict was, in fact, a victory for Egypt. (By forcing peace through a position of power Egypt achieved its primary objective of regaining control of the Sinai (this is a backwards read of the reality. egypt lost its bargaining position by its loss of its patron the soviet union, and was instead forced to negotiate for the sinai and recognize Israel. this meant a major loss of prestige and it's ejection from the arab league)).
  • Point to peace initiatives:
    • From Sadat in 1971 and in February 1973 - They both were rejected by Golda Meir's government leaving no choice to the Egyptians to get in the war.
    • From Golda: On 28 February 1973, during a visit in Washington, Golda agreed with Henry Kissinger's peace proposal based on "security versus sovereignty" : Israel would accept Egyptian sovereignty over all Sinai, while Egypt would accept Israeli presence in some of Sinai strategic positions.; The Rabin Memoirs Sadat refused this proposal.

  1. Yitzhak Rabin (1996). The Rabin Memoirs. University of California Press. p. 215. ISBN 978-0-520-20766-0. security versus sovereignty"...Israel would have to accept Egyptian sovereignty over all the Sinai, while Egypt ,in turn, would have to accept Israeli military presence in certain strategic positions.

Egypt won this war

As Poke10000 said: The war ended up by negotiations which returned all Egyptian territories previously invaded by Israel in 1967. The Syrian borders did not change much, We determine the Victory of countries if they:1.Achieved their goals (and this is the most important rule).2. Get permanent benefits.3.And the least important thing which is having less casualties.Now let's analyze this war:Did Egypt achieve They goals?Yes, They Absolutely did..Their goals were:1.Crossing the canal ✓2.Destroying the barlev line ✓3.Taking Sinai back by peace ✓4.Causing huge damage to Israel ✓5. Retrieving the honor and dignity of the country that is lost in 1967 ✓6. Advancing further than the SAM umbrella ×Now we can all agree that Most of these goals were achieved.Now let's look at Israel.Their goals were:Keep the Sinai ×Push the all the egyptians back in a counter attack ×Take suez ×Take Ismailia ×Encircle the 2nd army ×Make the 3rd army surrender ×Destroy the SAM umbrella of egypt ✓Now if we determine Victory by The achievement of goals then undoubtedly Egypt Won.Now let's look at the casualties:Unfortunately the casualties are super debatable, the arabic sources say that egypt had Casualties about 8528 soilders killed and about 19,000 soilders wounded, The English sources however says that: Egypt had about: 15,000 soiders dead and 30,000 wounded.So I asked my grandfather who is a Yom Kippur war veteran that fought for egypt, and he said that the casualties of egypt are no more than 9,000 soilders which indeed confirm that the arabic sources are TRUE!The Arabic sources also claim that Isreal had about 10,000 dead and 20,000 wounded, which actually makes sense because how on Earth would you fight on two fronts and have only 2600 Casualties it's impossible!So of we talk about casualties I will have to give this point to egypt, because it just makes sense.Now let's move on to permanent benefits: Egypt obviously wins this round too, because DUH they got the Sinai peninsula back, every inch of it..(even if it was because of the peace deal, cause the main objective is getting back the Sinai, doesn't matter how Egypt gets it)As for isreal they gained too, they still kept all of the golan heights, and ALSO Syria lost this war completely it was a total failure for them, and both countries gained peace.I hope I helped, May peace flourish around the world , may we live in a world with no wars or blood spilled on the ground. , And I think that more than enough proof , But I think this is a "Both Country claim victory" as Tabs said ,Since Egypt Celebrate it and Israel also claim they won it but For this proof We know Who actually won and I think setting it to Egypt won would be better Mohamed2046 (talk) 12:49, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

Once again, as has been said many times on this page, you need to provide reliable sources to support your claim, or no changes will be made and this discussion dismissed. This article currently has 12 reliable sources as citations for the Israeli victory, and no amount of coming here with walls of text and not a single reliable source provided is going to result in any change when we have so many citations supporting the article in its current form. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 16:01, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
I don't understand what I am supposed to do?, Like send a website source or just getting info from trusted website and use -website name at the end? Mohamed2046 (talk) 23:51, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
Also why is Simple Misplaced Pages Saying That Egypt was the one who won:
The Egyptians celebrate victory that day since they successfully attacked at the start of the war. The Syrians, on the other hand, do not like to talk about the war, as much of it was seen as a defeat, rather than a victory or stalemate. Mohamed2046 (talk) 13:05, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Read WP:RS, and follow it. I do not know the policies or editors of "Simple Misplaced Pages," nor do I care. They are an entirely different project from this one. Here on Misplaced Pages, we follow our policies, and there on "Simple Misplaced Pages," they follow there's. What holidays Egyptians celebrate isn't really all that relevant anymore than what holidays Israel celebrates or Syria celebrates (or doesn't celebrate, as the case may be). Celebrating a holiday isn't really evidence of a historical fact. As an example, much of the western world celebrates December 25th as the birthday of Jesus, even though basically all evidence (if any even definitively shows Jesus existed at all) wasn't born on December 25th. Holidays established by governments can also be used for propaganda purposes to push a specific narrative, one way or the other. The United States celebrates Columbus Day in part to promote Italian cultural acceptance in the US and the American narrative of the history of North America, despite the fact that Columbus didn't land in what would become the US, other Europeans likely preceded him to what would become the US, and native Americans definitely preceding Columbus in reaching North America by tens of thousands of years. Misplaced Pages requires our information to come from and be supported by reliable sources (see the policy that I've linked you to). Given that this article currently has 12 reliable sources supporting an Israeli victory, we absolutely cannot use the celebration of a holiday (whether in Egypt, Israel, or Syria) as proof of victory, and the bar is probably going to be high in refuting our 12 existing sources. I'll leave the latter to when sources are presented, which over the many times this topic is brought up, basically no one does. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 19:49, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

let me know if you want more, if there are 12 reliable citations and recourses about Israel's victory we have millions about the Egyptian victory. 41.34.135.117 (talk) 11:37, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
For each, quote the phrase which says Egypt won the war. Then we might check if the sources are reliable. (Hohum ) 14:44, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
it seems you need help to find the truth well like no one knows it, this is a history of taking sinai back and a strategic endeavor that has left an indelible mark in history and is studied in military academies around the world not a quote to highlight, i won't say anything other than the egyptian President Mohamed Anwar Sadat, the hero of war and peace, ordered the return of the Israeli prisoners wearing Castor pajamas produced by the famous Mahalla spinning factories, and the prisoners actually arrived in Tel Aviv wearing these pajamas, and Golda Meir; She had been confident of ultimate Israeli victory, Hazan said, even during the worst moments to the war. But she felt — as she told him — that her own life had become worthless as result of the pre-war catastrophe, and she no longer wished to live. Why, then had she not carried out her suicide urge? Because, Hazan quoted her as saying, she felt that to do so would be to weaken the resolve of the young fighting soldiers on the battlefield.
change it to the truth or not it does't matter because[REDACTED] is not considered as a reliable resource for any information, but you can't change the history. Hehe bye 41.34.135.117 (talk) 16:08, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
@41.34.135.117 You know that you could change the article if you present reliable sources right? DavidDijkgraaf (talk) 16:24, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
@41.34.135.117 Indeed, with reliable sources actually supporting your claim. The return of territory nearly a decade after the war ended due to a treaty signed several years after the war ended (and not directly related to said war, but to the overall relations over several decades), these are not evidence of a victory or defeat for either side in said war. Nor are pajamas, if that even happened. Nor is a prime minister contemplating suicide at the start of a war (lots of things can change between the start of a war and the end of a war). That's what at least one of the new sources presents; not anything about who won at the end of the war, just suicidal thoughts by a prime minister at the start of the war. If your other sources are of this caliber and content, then you have not presented anything in support of your claim. Quote in your sources where it says Egypt won the war. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 16:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Again it’s not a quoted phrase it’s a strategy you won’t understand it except when you read it, i think you need to add to your knowledge so open any trusted research site with citation and write yom kippur war, or 6th of October war. Because again there’s no quoted phrase said that israel won but there’s a quoted phrase says “israels 1973 intelligence failure”
again the whole world knows that[REDACTED] is not a reliable resource so this is just for your knowledge 41.34.135.117 (talk) 16:39, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
An intelligence failure at the start of a war does not mean that the war was lost by the party with the intelligence failure. The two are not in any way synonymous. Unless your sources actually say that Egypt won the war, you do not have sources saying that Egypt won the war. Please read WP:OR and WP:SYNTH. If you hate Misplaced Pages so much, you are free to leave, no one is forcing you to be here, and you shouldn't care what is said on this website. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 17:05, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
For your information it’s called “victory” it’s not a match and it’s a war there’s a strategy and a conclusion and you proved a point and the conclusion is we took sinai back, and proving another point did you read the arabic version of this article? You’ll find the truth in the arabic version and the total difference, so this is how[REDACTED] is unreliable resource and untrusted! And what it called “historical fraud” 105.34.206.178 (talk) 17:26, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

As with every time this request has been made, you need to provide reliable sources. Our current result section in the infobox has 12 reliable sources supporting it, and every time this topic is brought up, practically no one provides any sources at all, and no one provides anything resembling reliable sources. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 15:23, 10 September 2023 (UTC)

Wth is that?!

Its all basically israelis narrating their side of the story and the estimates of losses. You a basically trying so hard to make it look as if israelis were bunch of spartan warriors that won every battle outnumbered and took few losses. I would like to see a full egyptian side of the story. Also where were those other country’s soldiers? Like saudi and morocco? Just adding flags to enforce the idea that it was a coalition fighting against israel which is not true. There were very few units. The number of egyptians who crossed were around 80000 while israel had over 180000 in sinai. The egyptians were outnumber and outgunned. Israel doesn’t give away lands for free or peace, if thats the case they would have given back the golan heights and west bank to palestinians who are asking for exactly that or they would have given back sinai before the war because thats exactly what sadat offered. I will get proper sources from unbiased sources and post them. And don’t come bringing me some american sources, although they wont be as biased as the israeli which looks like an unfunny joke they would still try to make israel look like it won the war and the conceded the land because israelis are bunch of peaceful white doves😂 94.21.98.52 (talk) 00:47, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Do you have any specific edit suggestions, supported by reliable sources? Also, can you demonstrate that you even read the article? —OuroborosCobra (talk) 01:27, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

Cuban losses

I've already seen and addressed this issue once before but in the Infobox, the Cuban losses are the exact same ones that appear in the War of Attrition article. Unless by an astonishing coincidence they were the same, something clearly got mixed up. Can we please once and for all confirm which war these casualties correspond to?--RM (Be my friend) 22:54, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Can someone add an explanation explaining who Gunnar Jarring is?

Hello! I'm fairly new to[REDACTED] so I have no idea if this how I'm supposed to request an edit but here is my request:

I was reading this article and noticed that a guy named Gunnar Jarring was referred to. I figured my skimming must've made me miss something and I continued. He was referenced again so I used control + f and found that even at the first instance of his name, there is no even small explanation of who he is or why he is relevant or why he is negotiating a peace. I went to add a tag but saw it's edit protected. I understand that there is a lot of heat and anger from nationalists from countries who participated in this war so I understand that, but can someone who does have permission to edit this add some context as to who this guy is?

Cheers! 162.154.240.33 (talk) 12:47, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Also there is already a wiki article on Mr. Jarring so that should probably be linked with brackets.
From his wiki, I found this explaining who he is/was:
"After the 1967 Six-Day War and the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 242, Jarring was appointed by the UN Secretary-General U Thant as a Special Representative of the Secretary-General for the Middle East peace process, the so-called Jarring Mission, during which he worked with the Four Powers who included United States UN Permanent Representative Ambassador Charles W. Yost."
Perhaps a shortened version of this can be added. 162.154.240.33 (talk) 12:51, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

I've linked the first instance of his name as a start. (Hohum ) 13:37, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

And one more thing I've noticed as I read this article. Under the "Onset" heading it says "The war began on October 6, 1973...The attack by the Egyptian and Syrian forces caught the United States by surprise."
However in the previous paragraph, it mentions that Kissinger was trying to stop the war from breaking out, and if I recall correctly, the article also mentions the Soviets trying to stop the war. All of this seems somewhat contradictory.
It may not be of course, but could we at least get some sort of citation that the war (or at least opening attack) took the US by surprise? 162.154.240.33 (talk) 13:06, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

Algerian participation in the Yom Kippur War article

I don't edit on this topic but I'm just noting here a newly-created article, Algerian participation in the Yom Kippur War, that experienced editors here may want to look at. I see that Algerian participation is detailed in this article already, that no discussion on a WP:SPLIT occurred here, and that no other article like this exists for other countries involved, so it seems like an unnecessary stub. But I leave it to others to judge/discuss. R Prazeres (talk) 21:15, 28 September 2023 (UTC)

The Yom Kippur War was fought between Israel and a coalition of Arab states led by Egypt and Syria from October 6 to 25, 1973
. Egypt managed to win the war by launching a surprise attack on Israel during the fast of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement that is the holiest day in the Jewish calendar
. The Egyptian and Syrian armies, with advanced Soviet weapons, launched a two-front offensive on Israel, from the north and the south, and managed to cross the Suez Canal and capture the Bar Lev Line – a fortified sand wall on the east
. The war began with early successes for the Arab coalition, but Israel ultimately repelled the attack and regained lost territory
. However, Egypt achieved political gains from the war, including the 1978 Camp David Accords and the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty 2603:6010:1C00:325:2A25:2FBD:51C:491 (talk) 06:44, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Here are some reliable sources that explain how Egypt managed to win the Yom Kippur War:
The Jewish Virtual Library provides an overview of the Yom Kippur War and explains that Egypt's initial objective was to use its military to regain the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had seized in the Six-Day War of 1967. Although Egypt lost the war, Egyptians saw the conflict as a victory because it retrieved Arab honor and shifted the psychological balance of power in the region.
Al Jazeera features an article that explains how the Egyptians and Syrians launched a surprise attack on Israel on the Yom Kippur religious holiday to catch Israel off guard. The article explains that Egypt sought a limited war to focus the minds of the world's superpowers and jump-start the stalled peace process. The article also explains that the war ushered in a new reality in the Middle East and that it had far-reaching implications.
The U.S. Department of State's Office of the Historian provides a detailed account of the Yom Kippur War and explains that Egypt and Syria attacked Israel's forces in the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights. The article explains that despite initial Israeli setbacks, the United States intervened and helped broker a ceasefire that ultimately saved the Third Army from annihilation. The article also explains that the war had significant implications for the region and for U.S. foreign policy.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Middle East Conflict by Mitchell G. Bard provides an overview of the Yom Kippur War and explains that Egypt and Syria launched a surprise attack on Israel to regain lost territory. The book explains that the war was a turning point in the Arab-Israeli conflict and that it had far-reaching implications for the region.
The Illusion of Defeat: Egyptian Strategic Thinking and the 1973 Yom Kippur War by LTC Steven R. Meek provides an in-depth analysis of the Yom Kippur War and explores Egyptian strategic thinking during the conflict. The book explains that although Egypt lost tactically, it won strategically, and that the war had significant implications for the region. 24.172.129.23 (talk) 12:36, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

Because that is not what our dozen or so reliable sources that are being cited say. —OuroborosCobra (talk) 17:10, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
Egypt achieved some of its objectives, including:
Egypt's initial war objective was to use its military to seize a limited amount of Israeli-occupied Sinai on the east bank of the Suez Canal.
Egypt and Syria secured victories in the Sinai and the Golan Heights during the first few days of the war.
The intensity of the Egyptian and Syrian assaults rapidly began to exhaust Israel’s reserve stocks of munitions.
Egyptian President Anwar al-Sadat declared the war a victory for Egypt, as it retrieved Arab honor and shifted the psychological balance of power in the region.
In summary, while Egypt did not achieve all of its military goals in the Yom Kippur War, it did achieve some of its objectives and saw the conflict as a victory.

Actually, I see the phrase in the dtic.mil documents. Howevers, please note that the document also says:

The opinions and conclusions expressed herein are those of the student author and do not necessarily represent the views of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College or any other government agency. (References to this study should include the foregoing statement.)

This is a student monograph, not a reliable source, imo. (Hohum ) 18:06, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
I feel like you've been given plenty of guidance, and additional requests without providing sound sources is going to fall on deaf ears. Googling search terms about Egypt winning, and throwing them all into the mix in the hope that one is good is not the way to do this. (Hohum ) 18:12, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
bruh, you yourself said in my opinion, so that doesn't change anything Ali36800p (talk) 18:17, 2 October 2023 (UTC)
OK, well then, I'm here to say that isn't just his personal opinion. A student's monograph or essay is not a reliable source that we can cite. Literally anyone enrolled in an institution, regardless of credentials or background knowledge or research, can write student essays. That does not make them authoritative, reliable sources. @Hohum was likely trying to speak with a polite and conciliatory tone, which was lost on you if you are going to call them "bruh." --OuroborosCobra (talk) 18:20, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

You've already posted most of these sources and they either don't support your position, are opinion pieces (thus not RS) or student essays (see above). Again, read Misplaced Pages policies, and then come back here and try this again. I'll add WP:SYNTH to the list. You cannot synthesize the position that "Egypt won the war" from a source saying "Egyptian forces crossed the Suez Canal more easily than expected" and "Egypt's goal was to cross the canal." I'll put it another way; UN forces reached the outskirts of the Yalu river during the beginning of the Korean War far more rapidly than was expected, and doing so was an aim of UN forces, but the result of the war wasn't a UN victory. Reliable sources generally agree that the result was inconclusive, and there was little in the way of territorial change. Synthesizing a position by mixing together statements from multiple sources together to say something that isn't individually in any of those sources violates Misplaced Pages policies. Have you read the policies we have directed you to? --OuroborosCobra (talk) 01:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
no, i haven't read the policies, all i'm aasking for you is to include egypt's military victory or just say that both sides claimed victory, why can't we agree on that?? Ali36800p (talk) 02:12, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
Because this website operates on Misplaced Pages's policies, and not the personal wishes, dreams, and gentlemen agreements of individual editors. I'm telling you flat out, you will not get the changes that you want on any of the pages you've been trying to do this doing it this way. To get your edits approved, you must follow Misplaced Pages policies in your proposal and supporting evidence (reliable sources) for them. Otherwise, they will not happen.

You've no way of knowing that the sources AI is using qualify as reliable sources on Misplaced Pages, especially since (by your own admission) you have not read such pages. AI is not unbiased, it is biased by what is used for its training library and database, and has been found to be quite unreliable. Hell, I've asked it scientific questions and it has given me factually incorrect answers and made up sources that literally do not exist. Ali, what you need to do is drop the stick and not come back until you have read Misplaced Pages policies. That means end this conversation, because you will not get your requested edits made until you request them in a way that doesn't violate WP policies. --OuroborosCobra (talk) 15:01, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

Remove "Partial Egyptian political victory" from the result. It was added on October 13, 2023, at 07:36 by a user named The Great Mule of Eupatoria, with an edit summary:

(Mentioned in the source, Egypt saw some sort of victory unlike the lopsided wars of before and some vindication. Direct quotation from the citation: For most Egyptians the war is remembered as an unquestionable victory—militarily as well as politically ... The fact that the war ended with Israeli troops stationed in the outskirts of Cairo and in complete encirclement of the Egyptian third army has not dampened the jubilant commemoration of the war in Egypt." (p. 11) "Ultimately, the conflict...)

The book the user cited seems to be this one, page 6. But I don't see anything in it that clearly states or even implies that the result was objectively a partial Egyptian political victory. Here's a screenshot of the page: https://imgur.com/ZI2GQDI Modrenebe (talk) 13:47, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

My understanding of the text (based on the material in the middle of the page) is that the war led to the 1974-1975 disengagement agreements and the regaining of the Sinai Peninsular in the 1979 peace treaty. I suppose this could be considered a political victory, and this content has been mentioned in the Yom_Kippur_War#Aftermath section too. Liu1126 (talk) 14:34, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

@Liu1126, here, one of Misplaced Pages policies states:
"Misplaced Pages articles must not contain original research.

This includes any analysis or synthesis of published material that reaches or implies a conclusion not stated by the sources." Modrenebe (talk) 04:08, 18 October 2023 (UTC)

per Template:Infobox military conflict "this parameter may use one of two standard terms: "X victory" or "Inconclusive"". It's for the immediate military situation. Anything more complicated should refer to the relevant section in the article. The included sources all support Israeli victory, and a link to the aftermath section was already included.

 Comment:If it is stated that "At the 1978 Camp David Accords that followed the war", "the war served as a direct antecedent of the 1978 Camp David Accords", it can be a "political success" for Egypt. And the statement " wasn't there before" is wrong, it actually was there for a long time (along with "political gains" for both sides, Camp David Accords and the peace treaty which makes sense).
