Part B: Short Answer: Instructions: Answer the question below.
1. What happened at the Camp David Accords? Was this meeting a success or failure for President Jimmy
Carter? Explain.
Religious tension between Jews and Muslims, disputed fights over land claims, and other factors
contributed to many battles between Egypt and Israel, since Israel became a nation in 1948. At the
Camp David accords, in 1978, Carter persuaded the President of Egypt, Anwar El Sadat and the
Israeli Prime minister, Menachem Begin, to sign a peace treaty and cease fighting. This was a
major victory for Carter. Israel gave land back to Egypt and Egypt recognized Israel as a nation.
Egypt was the first Muslim nation to recognize Israel as a country.
