On Israel's unwillingness to accept Sadat's 1971 peace offer, see the comments by General Haim Bar-Lev, a cabinet member in the Meir and Rabin governments:

"I think that we could obtain a settlement on the basis of the earlier [pre-June 1967] borders. If I were persuaded that this is the maximum that we might obtain, I would say: agreed. But I think that it is not the maximum. I think that if we continue to hold out, we will obtain more."

("Towards A New Cold War" p.461)

(note that in 1977, Israel accepted worse terms that the 1971 Sadat offer).
