<P> Disengagement talks took place on October 28, 1973, at "Kilometre 101" between Israeli Major General Aharon Yariv and Egyptian Major General Abdel Ghani el - Gamasy . Ultimately, Kissinger took the proposal to Sadat, who agreed . United Nations checkpoints were brought in to replace Israeli ones, nonmilitary supplies were allowed to pass, and prisoners - of - war were to be exchanged . </P> <P> A summit conference in Geneva followed in December 1973 . All parties to the war--Israel, Syria, Jordan and Egypt--were invited to a joint effort by the Soviet Union and the United States to finally usher peace between the Arabs and Israelis . This conference was recognized by UN Security Council Resolution 344 and was based on the Resolution 338, calling for a "just and durable peace". Nevertheless, the conference was forced to adjourn on January 9, 1974, as Syria refused attendance . </P> <P> After the failed conference Henry Kissinger started conducting shuttle diplomacy, meeting with Israel and the Arab states directly . The first concrete result of this was the initial military disengagement agreement, signed by Israel and Egypt on January 18, 1974 . The agreement commonly known as Sinai I had the official name of Sinai Separation of Forces Agreement . Under its terms, Israel agreed to pull back its forces from the areas West of Suez Canal, which it had occupied since the end of hostilities . Moreover, Israeli forces were also pulled back on the length of the whole front to create security zones for Egypt, UN and Israel, each roughly ten kilometres wide . Thus Israel gave up its advances reaching beyond the Suez canal, but it still held nearly all of Sinai . It became the first of many such Land for Peace agreements where Israel gave up territory in exchange for treaties . </P> <P> On the Syrian front, skirmishes and artillery exchanges continued taking place . Shuttle diplomacy by Henry Kissinger eventually produced a disengagement agreement on May 31, 1974, based on exchange of prisoners - of - war, Israeli withdrawal to the Purple Line and the establishment of a UN buffer zone . The agreement ended the skirmishes and exchanges of artillery fire that had occurred frequently along the Israeli - Syrian ceasefire line . The UN Disengagement and Observer Force (UNDOF) was established as a peacekeeping force in the Golan . </P>
