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 from conflict to peace in the Middle East. This agreement, facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter, led to Egypt receiving $1 billion annually in aid. Current talks between Hamas and Fatah reflect ongoing efforts for governance and stability amid a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where only 14% of aid reaches those in need.
