History

Historical Context

The Camp David Accords, signed on September 17, 1978, by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, marked a historic peace agreement facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter. This agreement led to the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty and aimed to address Palestinian autonomy, though it faced criticism for excluding direct Palestinian involvement, reshaping Middle Eastern diplomacy and regional dynamics.
