The Camp David Accords: Lessons and Facts

The purposes of this study is to explore the development of events since Sadat assumed the presidency in 1970, abandoned Nassir s policies and established a close alliance with the United States, and eventually signing the Camp David Accords. This study focuses primarily on this historic peace treaty and its economic, cultural, and political impacts specifically on both Egypt and Israel in specific and the Middle East in general. The study demonstrates that the Camp David Accords were a watershed in the Middle East affairs, however, this achievement will remain problematic until a broader Middle East peace will be achieved.
