History

Historical Context

The Camp David Accords, signed on March 26, 1979, by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, established peace between Egypt and Israel, marking Egypt as the first Arab nation to recognize Israel. This agreement, however, faced backlash in the Arab world and led to Sadat's assassination in 1981, shaping ongoing U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
