The Camp David Accords were a series of agreements reached in 1978 between Egypt and Israel, facilitated by U.S. President Jimmy Carter at the presidential retreat known as Camp David. The accords aimed to establish peace between the two nations after decades of conflict, particularly following the Yom Kippur War in 1973. The agreements included a framework for peace in the Middle East, outlining the withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Sinai Peninsula, which Israel had occupied since the Six-Day War in 1967. The accords also addressed the rights of the Palestinian people, setting the stage for future negotiations.
