Anwar Sadat and the October War

• President Carter arranged the Camp David Peace Accords between Israel and Egypt. (In the Middle East, America favored the country of Israel. The Soviet Union favored Israel’s Arab neighbors.)

Some modern leaders look more inward as to their nations’ policies and people to affect change. Hosni Mubarak, former President of Egypt, aimed to unite his country and better certain systems to strengthen the nation. When in a hard and confusing time, Mubarak provided Egypt with a steady guiding hand. In the midst of this chaos, instead of addressing the questions and wants of the people, Hosni Mubarak demanded they offer themselves to supply the needs of their country and support their leader. This mindset calmed Egyptians as Mubarak reopened Egypt to the Arab world, tried to reaffirm the constitution and judicial system, and tackled social issues. (New Leaders of Nations #1).

For instance, the Camp David Accords ended the war and constant tension between Egypt and Israel. The two countries had been at odds since the foundation of Israel in the mid-nineteen hundreds. Wars raged on between them for decades without any solution, until Anwar Sadat was elected president of Egypt. His goal was to return Egypt to its former state, which included regaining the land that was lost due to war with Egypt and finally bringing

Margaret Atwood’s Spotty-Handed Villainesses (1994) and Anwar Sadat’s Statement to the Knesset (1977) are both speeches worthy of critical study because of their fascinating ideas and values.

If it weren’t for his personality type, it is highly doubtful that President Carter would have acted in the manner he had. The relations between Israel and Egypt were very stilted due to Khartoum Resolution drawn upon following the Six-Day War. It was risk for the United States to become involved in such affairs but President Carter acted in the manner he felt was right and because he wanted to and this action thereby helped lead to the peace between Israel and Egypt that would come from the Camp David Accords. He was unwavering in his goal to achieve peace between the two countries and he refused to take no for an answer and eventually, an agreement was reached thanks to his insistence. Later on in life, Jimmy Carter would win a Nobel peace prize for “for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development,” a part of which was credited to the Camp David Accords. President Jimmy Carter showed in this action his orientation through productiveness and his willingness to follow through. These are essential qualities of being an active-positive president, which Carter has proved to be despite the strenuous conditions that he faced

The administrations hoped by resolving the issues between the two that the rest of the Arab states would resolve their conflicts and support the United States. Nasser was sent to support the needs of Egypt and the Arab states and return the land taken by Israel and get them to stop creating settlements in return for peace. Before the peace treaty could be discussed further, Britain and France aided Israel in an attack on Egypt taking the Sinai

To what extent was Jimmy Carter’s motivation in convening the Camp David accords in 1978 his belief that it was his duty to establish peace between Israel and Egypt?

Throughout the Arab-Israeli conflict, a multitude of people were extremely influential, either for good or for bad. Among the growing list is the 39th President of the United States, James Earl Carter Jr., although people know him better as Jimmy Carter. He is known for publishing multiple books on this controversial affair, receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts toward trying to resolving the issue, and overseeing and participating in the Camp David Peace Accords. Although he was originally not on a particular side in this conflict, in the more recent years he has strongly favored the Arabic side, also known as the Palestinians, who want a state of their own.

Through intellectual and rhetoric qualities, intuitive responses are able to provoke social change. In 1977 on the 20th of November Anwar Sadat’s radical ‘Speech to the Israeli Knesset’ emphasised achieving justice on fair terms, ultimately establishing a basis for international peace and “Peace in the Middle East” during the tense Arab-Israeli conflict. Sadat utilises various devices of repetition to reinforce the main thematic concern of “permanent peace and justice”, expounding Logos through the immense detailed when laying out the conditions for peace. Moreover, as both countries were highly religious Sadat utilises the Pathos of religion to unite individuals, “Muslims, Christians and Jews (who all)

In 1978, during Jimmy Carter’s administration, he was trying to fix the war between egypt and israel. The war broke out in 1948 and it wasn’t going well. The Us offered the defacto recognition of israel provisional goverment , during the war united states couldnt do anything because the stayed in arms embargo. The un sparked a conflict with the jewish, arab groups within palestine. In the first three wars israel always defeated the egyptians

The Arab-Israeli conflict, initiated over one-hundred years ago and still continuing, has confounded both policy-makers and citizens; despite the best efforts of foreign leaders, only one substantial accord has materialized in the decades of negotiations: the Israel-Egypt peace treaty of 1979. Before one undertakes to understand such a complex topic as the Israel-Egypt peace treaty, however, a broad knowledge of the historical background of the two countries involved is essential to understanding the motivations and aspirations of both parties, which in turn will shed light on the peace treaty itself. Foreign policy can’t be viewed in a vacuum; rather, each country must be viewed as a nation with legitimate historical and political

Background: In the midst of the Cold War and the Arab-Israeli conflict, conflict arose over Gamal Abdel Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal. This was of particular concern due to Nasser’s increased connection with the Soviet Union, through the Czech Arms agreement and the Aswan Dam. Following Nasser’s nationalization of the Suez Canal, Great Britain, France, and Israel invaded Egypt. In facing this crisis, the U.S. had to consider Cold War politics with the Soviet Union, relations with Arab and Israeli nations, and relations with the invading powers

On May 15, Anwar Sadat, the Speaker of the National Assembly would visit Moscow, where he would be told by the Soviets that Israel had planned to invade Syria during the May 16 through May 22 time frame, all of this would prove to be false. Soviet intelligence cited the fact that Israeli troops parading in western Jerusalem, for Israel’s Independence Day, were doing so without heavy weapons, which they said were being amassed along the northern border with Syria. The reason as it turns out they were devoid of weaponry during their parades is to ease Arab tensions in the area. Sadat would pass this information along to Egypt and President Nasser, who would then parade Egypt’s forces through Cairo along its way to the Sinai Peninsula (Cleveland, 2009).

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. So an invitation by President Jimmy Carter to President Anwar Sadat of Egypt and Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel was extended. 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

the conflict in the middle east between 1948-1973 was not purely fuelled by the interest and concerns of the superpowers but rather of a series of conflictual incidents, aswell as the main wars that took place from the years from 1948-1967 such as the: 1948 War, The Six Day War of 1967 and the Yom Kippur war of 1973. But although the conflict was not fuelled by the superpowers, the influence of the superpowers and the reach of the superpowers into the Middle East was evident in the years both prior and following 1978. But even despite the influence and interests of the superpowers between and including 1948-1967 being undeniably evident, the extent of this influence cannot be said to have “fuelled the conflict”.
