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 resulting in $1 billion annual U.S. aid to Egypt. The current 'New Gaza' plan aims to invest $25 billion for reconstruction amid ongoing conflict.
