The Israelis returned to the battlefield in time to employ the TOW missiles and repel the attackers. They then launched a successful counterattack, which turned the war around and resulted in an Israeli victory. By acting on his own, Alexander Haig had aided in Israel’s victory, saved the Arab nations from a nuclear holocaust, and helped Nixon and Kissinger avoid a major political disaster.

...Israel saved Anwar Sadat’s life
In 1977, Egypt and Israel were close to signing a peace treaty. For An-war Sadat, this was an especially dangerous undertaking. Hard-liners throughout the Arab world would have no part of any sort of accommodation with Israel, and death threats were issued to any Arab leader who would engage in such negotiations.
The Israelis, anxious to keep the nascent peace process alive, arranged a meeting between Egypt’s director of military intelligence and the Mossad’s General Hofi. The Israelis informed the Egyptians about an elaborate plot that they had uncovered to assassinate Egyptian president Anwar Sadat. The stunned Egyptians were provided with the names and addresses in Cairo of the conspirators, and the plotters were quickly arrested.1
With that threat ended, President Sadat was able to continue his quest for peace with Israel. A peace treaty with Israel was signed in 1978. Ultimately in 1981, Sadat was assassinated by a dissident soldier while reviewing a military parade.
