Opinion: 40 years ago, two leaders risked everything for peace between Israel and Egypt—and achieved it, write AmbDennisRoss and DavidMakovsky
Israel and Egypt have been at peace for 40 years. In a region beset by national, sectarian and tribal conflicts, the treaty between the two nations has endured since its signing on March 26, 1979.
It has withstood the assassination in 1981 of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, two Palestinian intifadas, two wars in Lebanon and the election of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Mohammed Morsi as Egypt’s president in 2012. Even though Mr. Morsi refused to deal directly with the Israelis—or say “Israel”—he did not walk away from the treaty during his year in power.
