History

Historical Context

The Camp David Accords, signed on September 17, 1978, by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, established a framework for peace, leading to the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. This agreement transformed Middle Eastern politics, as Egypt received $1 billion annually in U.S. aid, while Israel returned the Sinai Peninsula, reshaping regional alliances and conflict resolution strategies.
