    Camp David Accord Research Paper

    By 1978 the thirty-year war that had been fought between Egypt and Israel had come to a point where there was a chance for peace. The area that had been at the center of the turmoil was the West Bank of the Jordan River and the Gaza Strip. The problem was that both countries believed that they had the rights to this land: Israel, biblically and Egypt, politically.

The invitation was for a meeting in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland at the presidential retreat, Camp David. The meeting was so that the framework of a peace agreement, known as the Camp David Accord, could be laid out between Sadat and Begin, with Carter as the mediator. Both Sadat and Begin had their reputations and their countries' futures on the line, not to mention the future of the Middle East. All of the countries…

There was significant opposition to the Peace Process, but support was higher: 80% of Palestinians said that they supported a two-state solution. (Ravnitz) However, after he was assassinated, his successors were unable to reach a deal, possibly because Arafat, the leader of the Palestinian Liberation Organization, trusted Rabin more (Bowen), leading to a slowdown in peace talks, so by now, support for peace talks and a two-state solution are down dramatically. About half of Palestinians support a two-state solution, down from 80%. Only about 35% of Israeli Arabs (distinct from Palestinians) think that a two-state solution will works (Ravnitz).…

The strategy: Precision-strike democracy. The message: kill them all, and let God sort them out.”(Asia Times, Nov 10) After insurgents made an atrocious attack on Americans, the U.S forces launched a major assault in an attempt to re-establish security in Fallujah. The resulting engagements set off widespread fighting throughout Central Iraq and along the Lower Euphrates.
