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 Egypt receiving $1 billion annually in aid and reshaped Middle Eastern politics, as Egypt's alignment with Israel caused significant shifts in Arab relations and the ongoing Palestinian issue.
