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 shift in Middle Eastern diplomacy. This agreement, facilitated by President Jimmy Carter, led to Egypt's recognition of Israel and the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty.
