Yom Kippur War – Disengagement talks Postcard sent by IDF Soldier 1973 - Disengagement talks started on October 28, 1973, between Egypt and Israel, 101 kilometers from Cairo. Soldier Moshe Mishan writes to friends ”...right now I'm in 'Africa' at Kilometer 101 next to Egyptian and UN soldiers. We greet each other and play backgammon with them. Nearby, we hear the 2 sides firing at each other but it's only for show...I'll have much to tell you when I get home for Shabbat.' Under a camouflage canopy strung out over several tanks, Egyptian and Israeli generals conducted talks that detailed military disengagement between the armies, arranged for the exchange of POWS, and provided food and supplies to the surrounded Egyptian army. Syria refused to participate. Very good condition. Item from the collections of Jacob Yablok - VirtualJewishmuseum.com. The item is placed in a quality proactive nylon sleeve and can be easily and safely taken out from the display page. Displayed on a thin cardboard sheet with an explanation on the background of Israel's flag.
