Kilometer 101

   The point along the Cairo-Suez road where, after the Yom Kippur War (1973), Israeli and Egyptian military officials met for negotiations toward implementing the conditions of United Nations Security Council Resolution 338 beginning on 28 October 1973. The talks, mediated by U.S. secretary of state Henry Kissinger, resulted in a six-point agreement, signed by Egyptian general Abdul Ghani Gamassy and Israeli general Aharon Yariv, on 11 November 1973. The Kilometer 101 talks set the stage for the Israel-Egypt Disengagement of Forces Agreement of 1974.
