President Carter announced to the world Sunday night that a “framework for peace” in the Middle East had been reached at his summit meeting with Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Menachem Begin.
Flanked by President Sadat and Prime Minister Begin, he said documents signed by the two leaders “will provide that Israel may live in peace within secure borders.”.
Carter's success at Camp David negotiating a Mideast Peace agreement between Egypt and Israel was one of his crowning achievements.
The far-reaching accord commits Egypt and Israel to work to conclude a peace treaty within three months.
