Why Was Jimmy Carter Involved In The Arab-Israeli Conflict?

Jimmy Carter has been very involved in the Arab-Israeli Conflict. He has been the main peacemaker in the conflict, but has helped the Israelis before, so he is an enemy to the Arabs. Either way, he made peace between the 2 groups and fighting eventually stopped. On the 17th of September in 1978, the Camp David Accords were signed between Anwar El Sadat (Egypt) and Menachem Begin (Israel) after 13 secret meetings at Camp David. Jimmy Carter was the main peacemaker during the Camp David Accords. The Accords called for peace between the 2 groups, but that didn’t last for long after Sadat was assassinated. The Accords were signed and the meetings were held to try to stop the war and create peace between Israelis and Arabs. In the winter of 1978-1979, there was an impasse of agreement. The 2 groups were in a stalemate and they didn’t try to make peace. The war went on, and the Camp David Accords were pretty much thrown away.

Jimmy Carter was the witness to the signing of the treaty. The 2 people who signed the treaty were Sadat and Begin. One decade later in 1989, there was a Palestinian uprising called Intifada. Intifada all started when Palestinian teens started throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers. More and more people jumped on-board until it was a huge This event pretty much rendered the peace treaty useless. War broke back out after Intifada. After a long 4 years of fighting, the Oslo Accords were signed by Yitzhak Rabin and Yasser Arafat. This finally ended most of the fighting, with only terrorist attacks
