Camp David Accords

In September 1978, Israel and Egypt signed two agreements known as the “Camp David Accords”.  President Anwar Sadat of Eqypt and Prime Minister Menachen Begin of Israel came up with the accords.  President Jimmy Cater also attended the meeting.  In fact, the meeting was held at Camp David Retreat in Maryland.  The two agreements were one; conclusion of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel and two; framework for achieving peace in the Middle East.   The conclusion of a peace treaty included the withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Sinai Peninsula and right of passage of Israel ships through the Suez Canal.  The actually peace treaty was singed in 1979 and it closely resembled Camp David’s outline.  The fact that the treaty and possible end to violence was even being discussed at Camp David was a victory in itself for both sides.
