October War Was Essential to Liberate Land, Says Major General Mohamed Qashqoush

Major General Mohamed Qashqoush said the October War was inevitable, describing it as necessary to liberate occupied land and overcome the consequences of defeat.

He said the war’s objectives included restoring territory and bringing the Suez Canal back under Egyptian control.

Qashqoush also stressed that the war was necessary to allow displaced people to return home, linking its military goals to the lives of those forced to leave.

His remarks framed the conflict as both a struggle to restore national sovereignty and a means of addressing the displacement caused by the loss of territory.
