In 1977, Sadat went to Israel in what is considered a historic visit: he met with Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and was invited to speak at the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, to discuss how to achieve lasting peace between the two countries. The following year, Sadat and Begin jointly won the Nobel Peace Prize. On October 6, 1981, Sadat was assassinated while attending a military parade commemorating the start of the Yom Kippur War against Israel. The plan to assassinate Sadat, which took place two years later, was orchestrated by a group of Islamic extremists. Among those arrested and tried for the attack was Ayman al Zawahiri, who after the killing of Osama bin Laden became the head of al Qaida.

"Speak in the pond of light, tongue from America.
Put the film on him, the king is white and in the crowd.
I am not a melting pot, let's say no, let's say no tapestry.
