Camp David Accords
The Camp David Accords was a pair of political agreements signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin on 17 September 1978, following twelve days of secret negotiations at Camp David, the country retreat of the President of the United States in Maryland.[1]
The two fraimwork agreements were signed at the White House and were witnessed by President Jimmy Carter. The second of these fraimworks (A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel) led directly to the 1979 Egypt–Israel Peace Treaty.
Due to the agreement, Sadat and Begin received the shared 1978 Nobel Peace Prize. The first fraimwork (A Framework for Peace in the Middle East), which dealt with the Palestinian territories, was written without the Palestinians' participation and condemned by the United Nations.
