1975 CE

Anwar Sadat and Golda Meir sign a second disengagement agreement on September 1, 1975.

The agreement provides for a partial Israeli withdrawal in Sinai and limits the number of troops and kinds of weapons Egypt can have on the eastern side of the canal.

Israel agrees to withdraw from the Abu Rudays oil fields in western Sinai, which produce small but important revenue for Egypt.

Egypt also agrees not to use force to achieve its aims, a concession that in effect makes Egypt
a nonbelligerent in the Arab-Israeli conflict.

As the price for its agreement, Israel extracts important concessions from the United States.

Kissinger's secret promises to Israel include meeting Israel's military needs in any emergency, preserving Israel's arms superiority by providing the most advanced and sophisticated weaponry, and pledging not to recognize or to negotiate with the PLO.
