History

Historical Context

In November 1977 Egyptian President Anwar Sadat’s surprise Jerusalem visit led, under U.S. President Jimmy Carter, to the September 1978 Camp David Accords and the March 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty that secured Israel’s full Sinai withdrawal and a 100-meter-wide Philadelphi Corridor. Donald Trump’s July 31 2026 Board of Peace plan ties Hamas disarmament to an Israeli pullout, mirroring the conditional framework of Camp David and raising verification concerns.
