Descrizione
The striving for peaceful relations with her Arab neighbors found expression even at the moment the State of Israel came into being, within the Declaration of Independence. The hand proffered was refused at the time and the Arab states commenced a war of extermination against the existence of a Jewish State in Palestine. The wars between Israel and her neighbors were hard and cruel but the Israel Defense Forces prevailed. After each one of these wars the leaders of Israel pleaded with the Arabs to put an end to bloodshed and to begin negotiations toward a peace treaty. Until 1977, however, the solid wall of hatred remained unbreeched. In November 1977, the President of Egypt, Anwar Al Sadat, took the first courageous step by making a State visit to Jerusalem as the guest of the Government and by declaring "No more war". Negotiations followed, at first in Jerusalem and in Cairo, and later at Camp David in the United States with the active participation of the President of the United States, Jimmy Carter. Even then some protracted and tiring negotiations followed in order to bridge the gaps left following Camp David. The peace treaty was signed in Washington, D.C. on March 26, 1979. The treaty bears the signatures of Menachem Begin, Prime Minister of Israel and Anwar Al Sadat in the name of the Arab Republic of Egypt. The treaty also bears the signature of Jimmy Carter as a witness. To honor the historic occasion, a special State medal was issued in Israel.
