Join Center for Israel Education President Ken Stein for a live webinar delving into the peace treaty Egypt’s Anwar Sadat and Israel’s Menachem Begin signed March 26, 1979, at the White House. Four decades later, the bilateral relationship remains in force as Cairo and Jerusalem continue to see the strategic benefits of the treaty despite governmental and regional changes. But only one other Arab nation, Jordan, has signed a peace treaty with Israel since 1979. While the United States played the role of mediator, financier and guarantor to the treaty, why did negotiations not blossom into other Arab-Israeli agreements? How did the negotiations affect the U.S.-Israeli relationship and Egypt’s long-term relations with other Arab states. What lessons for today and perhaps tomorrow can be learned from the Egyptian-Israeli negotiations of the 1970s?
