Accordingly, at that time, he was permanently banned from entering the college, and after that he joined the Faculty of Law affiliated with King Fouad University (that university known as Cairo University currently)..
But after joining the Faculty of Law, he resigned from it after completing only one semester, and then he resubmitted his application to join the Military College again, and it was approved..
At the Military College, Gamal Abdel Nasser had met Abdel Hakim Amer and Anwar Sadat, and both of them later became very important assistants to him to take their advice during his presidency..
The first battle was for President Gamal Nasser after his graduation in Palestine, and it was during the period of the Arab-Israeli war, and that was specifically in the year 1948..
Setback 1967
On the morning of June 5, the Zionist Israeli army’s air force struck the air bases in Egypt, and then succeeded in destroying a very large part of the soldiers and air force base in Egypt..
Also, before that first day of that brutal war ended, all of Israel’s armored units had succeeded in penetrating all of Egypt’s defense lines and had also succeeded in permanently seizing the city of Al-Arish..
Therefore, specifically on June 9, President Gamal Abdel Nasser officially and regrettably announced on television to all Egyptian citizens the fall and defeat of their country..
