Answer 1

A. Six Days War and Yom Kippur War

• During June 1967 Arab-Israeli War, also known as the Six Day War, radically altered the map of the Middle East.
• In the weeks before June 1967, tensions with Egypt became dangerously heightened. In response to the mobilization of Egyptian forces along the Israeli border in the Sinai Peninsula, Israel launched preventative surprise air strikes against Egyptian airports by destroying almost all Egyptian aircraft.
• At the same time, the Israelis launched a land offensive in the Gaza Strip and Sinai, which surprised the Egyptians.
• Empowered by Soviet military aid, Egypt and Syria attacked Israel, during the so-called Yom KipPur War on October 6, 1973, which was militarily supported by the United States.

B. Because the agreement between Israel and Egypt was achieved.

• The agreement on a partial Israeli withdrawal from Sinai and the Golan (1974–75) was followed by the Egyptian-Israeli negotiations (Camp David, 1978) and the peace agreement (Washington, 1979), and Egypt became the first Arab state to recognize Israel.

C. Menachem Begin, Jimmy Carter, Anwar Sadat

• On the picture we have Israeli Prime Minister on the right (Menachem Begin).
• In the middle is Jimmy Carter, president of United States.
• On the left is Anwar Sadat, president of Egypt.

D. In September 1978, Israel and Egypt at Camp David, with the mediation of US President Jimmy Carter, negotiated a peace agreement between the two countries. That deal was not popular, but necessary.

• Both Begin and Sadat were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
• The first agreement deals with the general conditions of peace in the Middle East (the reduction of Israeli forces in the West Bank and Gaza, the basics of Palestinian self-government, etc.), and the second sets out the prerequisites for the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty (formally concluded on 26 March 1979).
• The Camp David agreements condemned the Arab states and the PLO, accusing Egypt of recognizing Israel.

E. Sadat was murdered in Cairo some time later.

• Many in the country, especially Islamic brothers were against the agreement.
• Sadat did not mind this and went on a sharp showdown with them, which eventually led to the assassination by Islamists during the 1981 military parade.
