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 accord led to Egypt's recognition of Israel and a subsequent peace treaty in March 1979, reshaping Middle Eastern politics and resulting in Egypt receiving over $38 billion in U.S. aid by 2000.
