(IsraelNN.com) A new square in Haifa will be named in honor of the late Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, the first Arab leader to sign a peace treaty with Israel.

Sadat was assassinated in 1981 by members of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Taking part in the ceremony will be Haifa Mayor Yona Yahav, Egypt's Ambassador to Israel Yasser Rida and Herzl Makov, the Director General of the Menachem Begin Heritage Center. It was the late Prime Minister Menachem Begin who invited Sadat to address the Knesset in Jerusalem and who eventually signed a treaty with him in Washington D.C.
