History

Historical Context

The 1978 Camp David Accords, where President Jimmy Carter secured a peace framework between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, led to the 1979 Egypt-Israel treaty and more than $38 billion in U.S. aid to Egypt through 2000. That precedent of top-level U.S.–Israel coordination reappears in 2024 when President Donald Trump pledged a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
