During the era of President Sadat and President Gaddafi, Egyptian-Libyan relations witnessed serious tension that led to the outbreak of military skirmishes between those regarding the term “four-day war” from 21-24 July 1977, and this war has become at a very precise time in the history of the Arab region After Egypt emerged victorious from the October 1973 war, and at a time when President Sadat was working, he was ready to unite the Arab ranks and lead them to reach peace with Israel and recover the usurped Arab lands.
  This research answers important questions about what is the "four-day war" between Egypt and Libya? What are the causes and causes of changes to its outbreak? What are the Arab and international reactions towards it? The repercussions of this lightning war on the inter-Arab relations and on the Egyptian-Libyan relations in the long run? Can it be repeated in one way or another?
   The research thus sheds light on a critical period in the history of Egyptian-Libyan relations that has not received its share of historical research and study, perhaps because its details have been vague for a long period of time, and this research is a serious historical documentary study of this crisis in an attempt to evacuate the truth from it in an impartial and objective manner.
