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 peace initiative facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter. This agreement led to the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty, reshaping Middle Eastern politics and causing Egypt to be suspended from the Arab League for a decade due to backlash from other Arab nations.
