A publication on the last chapter in the Yom Kippur War – separation of forces with Syria. Following the agreement with Egypt in January 1974, Israel wanted to end the war of attrition in the enclave captured in the war and to reach an exchange of prisoners, but the Syrians refused to give a list of POWS. US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger persuaded President Assad to give the list. Negotiations continued on withdrawal from the enclave and in the Golan Heights. Despite her resignation in April 1974, Golda Meir brought the talks to a successful conclusion.
