In war to reach a ceasefire one side is most of the time forced to accept it by international diplomacy when the other side has already agreed to it..
OK. I can see it is that Sadat was played by Isreali who use a ceasefire to take a break.
Usraelis attempted twice (with the complicity of the US who turned a blind eye on the front for 24 hours after the 1st ceasefire was announced) to violate ceasefires to get an upper hand somewhere somewhat, but they have failed and had to accept the final ceasefire..
You said the Isreali troops were trapped and encircled and Egyptian force had an advantage over them.
On such a condition, Isreal violated the ceasefire and attack Egyptian army initiatively.
Then even if the Isreali violated the ceasefire, Sadat did not want counter back and just hold positions.
What a saint!
Dude, do you really believe what you said?
So even an ultimate deception didn't work for them.. And yes Islam forbids further bloodshed if the enemy surrenders, asks for peace or agrees to peace..
I am afraid a ceasefire is far away from surrender.
Syria didn't lose either, they came to a still-mate, Syria got the Golan height for a few days and lost it back.. but nothing could the Usraeli achieve other than retaking the Golan height with a huge bloodshed..
Egypt got sinai back 6 years later and you claimed that proved you won.
Syrian territory didn't lose just because they step on their territory temporarily.
I accept your definition of the word "win".
I am curious how you define the word "lose".
Other Arabs were there in very small numbers as support..
Other Arabian states provided manpower and cash and armament no matter more or less .I think they wouldn't give a penny if they would have known what's Sadat's plan as you claimed.
Do not forget that most Usraeli citizens get mobilized in war,
Israel does have a high efficient national defense mobilization system.
they can field a million man easily, but thye do not have the dept nor the economy to sustain a prolonged war.. thus without the unconditional support by the West, they are very vulnerable..
But they can always get the support because of their outstanding diplomacy .
Even other nations gave their support.
Israel should hold on until the support was transported and distributed to their Soliders.
If not, all the support would belong to Egypt and Syria.
