Summary

The chapter provides a detailed account of Moshe Dayan’s pivotal role in the peace process with Egypt. The chapter begins by discussing Dayan’s belief in a significant settlement between Israel and Egypt after the Yom Kippur War, despite facing public backlash and political isolation. The chapter then delves into the key events that led to Dayan’s involvement in the peace process, including the War of Attrition, the separation of forces agreements, and the Camp David Accords. It provides insights into Dayan’s interactions with key figures such as President Jimmy Carter and Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and how his negotiations ultimately led to the interim arrangement reached by the Rabin government in 1975. The chapter also explores Dayan’s views on the Palestinian issue and the future of the West Bank, as well as his role in Israel’s nuclear program and the policy of ambiguity. Overall, the chapter offers a comprehensive analysis of Dayan’s contributions to the peace process with Egypt, highlighting his strategic thinking, political acumen, and willingness to take risks for the sake of peace
