Camp David Accords

The Camp David Accords were peace agreements reached in 1978 between Israel and Egypt, facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter at the Camp David presidential retreat. The accords aimed to resolve longstanding conflicts between the two nations. Key outcomes included Egypt recognizing Israel's right to exist, and Israel withdrawing from the Sinai Peninsula, which it had occupied since the 1967 war. This agreement marked the first peace treaty between Israel and an Arab state, promoting a framework for future negotiations in the Middle East and symbolizing a significant shift towards peaceful coexistence in the region.
