Answer:
The Camp David Accords were signed by Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin on September 17, 1978 after twelve days of secret negotiations with the mediation of the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter, and through which Egypt and Israel signed peace in the territorial conflicts between both countries.
After the presidential elections in the United States in 1976, Jimmy Carter had initiated direct contacts between the leaders of Egypt, Syria, Jordan and Israel, together with Palestinian representatives, to promote a peace process that would put an end, at least, to the border clashes between Israel and its Arab neighbors, to later enter into the background of the Palestinian problem that it was intended to solve.
Carter and Cyrus Vance, Secretary of State at that time, resumed the initiative of the Geneva meetings of 1973 based on the need for Israel to withdraw from the occupied territories in the successive wars since independence.
It was agreed that Israel would completely abandon the Sinai, including the dismantling of the installed colonies, restoring full sovereignty to Egypt, that could not support more than a small number of military forces in the area, signing the peace six months later. In turn, Egypt would recognize the existence of the State of Israel. Egypt was the first country in the Arab world to do so, which caused the discontent of the other Arab countries.
