Nasser death alters hopes for Middle East peace
Recalling Gamal Abdel Nasser's legacy three years after the Six Day War, commentators describe him as the moderating force in Arab politics and a key advocate for peace with Israel. His death is seen as a blow to prospects for regional peace, with his domestic reforms and Suez Canal nationalization noted amid criticism of endless military ventures and reliance on Soviet support. The piece weighs his charisma, failed pan Arabism, and lasting Egyptian reforms against persistent demographic and strategic strains, concluding with a classical reflection on ruin and legacy.
