History

Historical Context

The Camp David Accords, signed in 1978 by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, marked a historic shift in Middle Eastern diplomacy, leading to Egypt's recognition of Israel and Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula. This treaty, which established a framework for Palestinian autonomy, remains significant today as ongoing conflicts, particularly between Israel and Hamas, highlight the fragile nature of peace in the region.
