Just the first time. When England and France got into the fighting. Last time Egypt did it themselves, cuz they were about to lose an army. Sorta got the snot beat out of it. Trapped, ya know. Encircled. Sorta like the Alamo with control of the skies, eh?... Israel received Kissinger's threat to support a UN withdrawal resolution, but before they could respond, Egyptian national security advisor Hafez Ismail sent Kissinger a stunning message—Egypt was willing to enter into direct talks with the Israelis, provided that the Israelis agree to allow nonmilitary supplies to reach their army and agree to a complete cease-fire. en.wikipedia.org Which eventually led to Camp David, some Nobel Prizes, and a peace between the 2 countries which is still holding up.
