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 agreement facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter. This agreement led to Israel's withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula and set a framework for future negotiations, yet it sparked discontent in the Arab world, complicating the quest for lasting peace in the region.
