The mass grave that was found in “Um Rashrash” at Eilat is believed by many parties in Egypt including military experts that it belongs to the Egyptian army officers and soldiers who were killed in the village in year 1949 in the “Operation Uvdah “ which was led by the current Israeli President Shimon Perez.
On the next 13th of January 2007, the Egyptian Parliament will discuss the case based on the request of PM “Talaat El-Sadat” , the request was a demand to the committee of the National security in the Egyptian assembly to discuss the findings of the mass grave as a possible mass grave for Egyptian soldiers and officers who were killed in 1949 in the Operation “Uvdah”. PM “El-Sadat” in statement for Al-Arabiya.net said that it is important that the Egyptian foreign ministry and other specialized official parties in Egypt to follow the case to know to whom this mass grave belongs to. He continued saying that he believed that the mass grave belongs to the Egyptian force that was in “Um Rashrash” when Perez and his Israeli force entered the village and that it would be easy to check from the names and the history of those 350 officers and soldiers from their family if the regime cooperated this time and did not act as in the Previous POWs case.
The only and the first website in English from its kind , Allah 
bless the one who made it , bless his hands to stay all that time to do that wonderful job ,seriously yes it is an old fashioned website and needs a new look but it is a great golden mine
The Egyptian Perspective as you never seen before ,I recommend you to read what is in the website especially regarding the gap 
dedicated to all those skeptical out there
6 October war1973 - Yom Kippur 1973
there is another Arabic version from the website in Arabic
I will copy these parts from the Questions sections to clear my point regarding the gap “Defersoir operation”
Had the Israeli crossing westwards the canal realized the military objective of Israel ?
The objective of Israeli crossing from the east (Sinai) to the west was to:

First happy Ramadan to all Muslims in the world , Ramadan Karim
Second I am sorry for the lake of the updates , pardon me but I was so busy in the last months
Third For the first time this year the Egyptian Drama discusses the case of the Egyptian POWs more deeply than usual
The Egyptian POWs is the focus of the Egyptian TV series “Point of Order“-نقطة نظام-
“Point of Order” is about a 1967 veteran who witnessed the murder of
the Egyptian POWs and their burial alive in the sands of Sinai , this veteran who could not forget what happened finds him in front of the same man that killed those POWs ,the same Israeli officer ,whom years later became a business man
That Israeli officer-business is coming to invest in Egypt after all those years , after what he did from crimes against the Egyptian POWs
Egyptian Minister for the parliament affairs and NDP member Mofid Shahab assured in his meeting with youth in Alexandria that Egypt did not close the file and that Egypt demanded both Israel and the UN which represents the international community to investigate the matter !! With a request to the UN that it would form an inquiry committee for the case !!
And that Egypt waits the results of these investigations to know the truth about what really happened to her soldiers and to punish those who did those crimes if they are proven to take place !!
They are proven to take place !! I am sorry but this is an accusation to the POW of 1956and the veteran 1967 of being liars then !!
I don’t know how on earth we would trust Israel in its investigation , they will not criminalize their army legends like Biro !!
I won’t stop and I won’t give up simply because our great men were and are not less than anyone else
The Armenians celebrate the Armenian Genocide remembrance day on the 24th of April ever year
The British celebrate their remembrance day on the 11th of November every year
The Jews celebrate the Yom HaShoah on the 19th of April every year
And We Must celebrate our POWs who were killed in 1956 and in 1967 on the 5th of June Every year
[tags]POWs, Egyptian Pows, 1967, 1956, Yom HaShoah, Remembrance day, Armenian genocide[/tags]
I don’t know which one to believe the Egyptian foreign minister’s statement or the Israeli
foreign minister’s statement
The first says that the Egypt didn’t and won’t close the POWs file till the truth is revealed and that he asked angerily from the Israeli foreign minister to open an investigation about the crimes against the POWs
while the second appears laughing with the Egyptian foreign minister saying that her meeting with him and the jordanian foreign minister was historical with no mention what so ever to the requests or the demands of the Egyptian minister !!
anyhow I don’t care about this minister’s demand because really Egypt won’t close or forget the rights of its sons and this is what this website is doing
If the minister said so ,it would be great but I hope he is real and honest about it because from the pictures of the press Conference in Cairo I see them so happy
This is an invitation for all Egyptians inside and outside to make the 5th of June every year as the Egyptian Remembrance Day just like the British Remembrance Day to remember our POWs who died . Let’s turn our defeat day in to a day to remember those who were killed in one of the modern history worst genocides.
Let’s go on this day with our children and in our hands an original Egyptian Red Rose that drunk from the water of the Nile and blossomed in the soil of Egypt to put on the memorial of the unknown soldier memorial in Medinat Nasr and in every soldier memorial in every Governate in Egypt
Let’s put in our clothes a poppy lapel pin just like the British do , Let’s wear it for a week from the 5th of June to the 10th of June as a tribute of
respect to those Men who were killed away from their beloved one but not away from their home
Unfortunately I missed watching this session of the Egyptian assembly on air yesterday , now I guess it was edited to remove all what happened in it .Yesterday Foreign minister “Ahmed El-Gait” attended the meeting with the assembly members to discuss the updates of the POWs case and to discuss his statement about it , yet it didn’t go easy at all , it turned in to some kind of war of the world between the foreign minister and the MPs to become a historical session as the for the first time a foreign minister in Egypt would face such attack in the assembly.
The MPs accused the minister of ignoring the case where as the minister defended his position explaining the difficulty of the case as we can’t go to the international criminal court because it doesn’t look in cases that took place before the year 2002 , fact that is mentioned in the law section
Yesterday Israel celebrated the Yom HaShoah “The Remembrance day for the Holocaust and Heroism”.
I have nothing this and I am not from the camp that dedicated his or her to suspect that the Holocaust took place despite the fact I do believe it took place but in less number
Anyhow I wonder when we will have our “Yom Hashoah” in Egypt to remember the Holocaust victims of Egyptian POWs in 1967 , oh yes we had our own holocaust back in 1967
In Al-Arish and in Gaza cities as places
Egyptian POWs as the victims
and those who celebrated the Yom HaShoah yesterday the 16th of April as the victimizers
Please read this part from the Al-Arish people testimonies’ section and remember our officers and Soldiers who were burned alive and till now got now museum or a special day for remembrance
