History

Historical Context

The Camp David Accords, signed on September 17, 1978, by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, established a framework for peace between Egypt and Israel, culminating in the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. This agreement, however, sparked outrage in the Arab world, leading to Egypt's suspension from the Arab League and ongoing regional tensions, particularly regarding Palestinian statehood.
