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 peace framework that led to the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. While the accords earned both leaders the Nobel Peace Prize, they sparked outrage in the Arab world, particularly over Palestinian statehood, contributing to ongoing regional tensions and influencing U.S. foreign policy.
