In addition to the convincing information that Henry
Kissinger “cooked” the Yom Kippur War in order
to advance his own goals, there is an op-ed from the war time written by James Reston, one of the leading
US journalists. The article that was partially translated into Hebrew in the Israeli
magazine “Ha’olam Hazeh”
corroborates the “cooking” theory and demonstrates that the US Secretary of State
was against Isreali and Egyptian victories. Kissinger’s broader goal is not
mentioned in Reston’s op-ed: that both sides will crawl and bid for help from
the US. Something that should strengthen the US position in the Middle East and
generally.
