History

Historical Context

The Camp David Accords, brokered by U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 1978, led to the historic Egypt-Israel peace treaty signed on March 26, 1979, by Anwar Sadat and Menachem Begin. This agreement established Egypt as a key U.S. ally, receiving over $38 billion in aid by 2000, while shaping ongoing Israeli-Palestinian relations and U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
