Field Marshal Mouhamed Abdel Ghani el-Gammasy is an Egyptian military leader. He graduated from the Egyptian Military Academy in 1939, and remained in active duty until 1978.He was director of operations for all forces participating in the 1973 Yom Kippur War. He left office in 1978 after the president Anwar El Sadat signed the Camp David Peace Treaty with Israel. He was known to be one of the hawks and reportedly teared and lost his temper when the American secretary of state Henry Kissinger announced that the president Sadat agreed to pull the the main part of the Egyptian forces from the east side of the Suez Canal in exchange of the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the west side of the Suez Canal and retreat back into the depth of Sinai.
