The Camp David Accords were two framework agreements signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, after twelve days of secret negotiations led by US President Jimmy Carter at the presidential retreat at Camp David in Maryland. One framework dealt with peace between Egypt and Israel, and the other with the Palestinian territories and a proposed autonomy, which was never implemented. The accords led to the Egypt-Israel peace treaty in 1979, under which Israel withdrew from the Sinai Peninsula and Egypt became the first Arab state to recognise Israel. Sadat and Begin received the Nobel Peace Prize, and Sadat was assassinated in 1981 by extremists angry at the peace.
