the camp david accords, 1978
- US president Jimmy Carter hosted a Peace Treaty between the Egyptians and Israelis at his retreat
- They agreed to:
- Not make war
- negotiate the refugee problem
- Israel could get their supply of oil from Egypt
- The result of this was the Egyptians got expelled from OPEC
Summery: This was the first peace deal signed between Israel and Egypt. The US President Jimmy Carter hosted it at Camp David where they agreed to not make war, negotiate the refugee problem (in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and the Golan Heights), and Israel could use the Suez Canal for trade and Israel could get oil from Egypt.
Question: What if the Camp David Accord was not signed by Israel and Egypt?
Quote: "As we meet here at Camp David we ask people of all faiths to pray with us that peace and justice may result from these deliberations"-Jimmy Carter.
