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 Egypt's recognition of Israel and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Sinai Peninsula. This landmark agreement, facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, reshaped Middle Eastern diplomacy and set a precedent for future negotiations, including the Oslo Accords.
