The peace treaty between Israel and Egypt was signed on the lawn of the White House on 26.3.1979 and was the first peace treaty signed between Israel and any of its neighboring countries. The peace talks opened officially with the surprising arrival of the President of Egypt, Anwar Sadat, to Israel, only four years after the Yom Kippur War. At first, the talks encountered some difficulties; however, after the intervention of USA President Jimmy Carter, the parties met at Camp David, the presidential country retreat, and after two weeks of negotiations, a festive ceremony was held in which the first treaty, A Framework for Peace in the Middle East, was signed. About six months later, the parties met at the White House and in the presence of 1500 guests signed the peace treaty, which marked a new chapter in the history of the Middle East. For signing the treaty, Menachem Begin and Anwar Sadat were awarded the shared 1978 Nobel Peace Prize.
