Camp+David+Accords

The Camp David Accords were between the Israeli Prime Minister, Menachem Begin, and Egyptian president, Anwar Sadat. The two leaders met and negoiated from September 5-17, 1978. United States president at the time, Jimmy Carter, played an important role in making sure that neither of the leaders left before an agreement was achieved. There were two main agreements that came out of the Camp David Accords. The first included the United Nations becoming involved in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and it also included principles for the relationship between Israel and its surronding Arab countires. The second agrrement made an outline for a peace treaty that would emerge six months later between Israel and Egypt. This included Israel giving up the Sinai Peninsula in exchange for Egpyt's recognition of Israel.
