Celebrating MFO Day

The Protocol to the Treaty of Peace between Egypt and Israel which established the MFO was signed on August 3, 1981. Within the MFO, August 3rd is a unique occasion to celebrate our achievements and honor the dedication and sacrifice of our military and civilian members who serve the cause of a long-lasting peace.

At the Force in Sinai, MFO Day is celebrated through various sporting competitions. This year’s events brought together all fifteen Contingents and civilian staff, fostering teamwork and camaraderie within the MFO Sinai family. These activities also promote a healthy lifestyle. All MFO members are constantly reminded of the vital importance of maintaining physical and mental well-being, and MFO Day provides a chance to enhance that.

At both camps, Force members participated in a morning triathlon followed by a tug of war competition. In the afternoon, awards were presented prior to a celebratory BBQ and an evening of entertainment.

The MFO is honored to reaffirm its commitment to peace, stability, and cooperation as well as the importance of personal physical and mental well-being.

Our thanks to the whole MFO team!
