Essay about Anwar Sadats Decision To Make

Since his presidency did not begin with Israel becoming a state, his focus was greatly adjusted and at first there was a noticeable decline in aid and care for Israel’s wellbeing. Israel was also rather vulnerable during this time, due to the fact that there more Jewish refugees entering Israel from surrounding Arab states. President Eisenhower convincingly proved that America had the ability to influence Israel in a good way, although his presidency ended with the Middle East still in a state of war. During Eisenhower’s administration, there were two successful incidents of U.S. management of Israel and in both circumstances, Eisenhower avoided the political compulsions of America’s attachment to Israel and instead forced the Israelis to act upon principle. Unfortunately, his presidency was the last to give Israel undivided focus, for the ones to follow were absorbed in other affairs and did not provide the same constructive support.

Since then, Six-Day War and the Yom Kippur War the two most major conflicts between the Israelis and the Arabs. The former, in 1967, was a show of superior military force from Israel, launching preemptive strikes after battles were being fought between them and Arab forces. In 1973, Syrian and Egyptian armies launched a surprise attack while Israel was observing Yom Kippur. The war that followed lasted only 20 days, but cost at least 10 thousand lives. In 1978, The Egyptian President and Prime Minister of Israel met with Jimmy Carter in Camp David in order to attempt establishing peace in the Middle East. The resulting document, the Camp David Accords, states, “The agreed basis for a

Most important agreement was between US and Israel then between Israel and Egypt (Telhamy 630).

“Peace Not Apartheid” impacted the conflict by showing how Jimmy Carter truly felt on the issue, or at least how he has felt in more recent years considering it was only published about 10 years ago. It showed a more one-sided view, a side that was for a Palestinian State, because, according to Carter’s views, since the Israelis took land away from the Palestinians, Israel does not deserve the land and should give it back to the Palestinians as a start toward peace. The book also created much controversy and for Israelis to begin to ignore him altogether, because now he is seen as a sort of wrecking ball for Israel, and will no longer meet with him at all, relatively stating that people who bring harm to Israel shall not be negotiated with. The impact from this book on the Palestinians created the point that now Hamas is willing to listen to Jimmy Carter. Due to the sort of backlash toward “Peace Not Apartheid,” he published “We Can Have Peace in the Holy Land.” This book outlined a calmer, balanced view rather than a harsh view, which impacted the conflict causing the Israelis to open up a bit more to his ideals, but still being cautious. Jimmy Carter relatively states that now is a good time to strive for peace because the road to it

) because him having being born in Palestine he had experienced war and knew that the Palestinian liberation organization has fought Israel and vice versa, he truly believed that both nations were ready to seek a path for peace. Before even considering an agreement with the PLO he had already a peace accord and separation of forces

During the 1970s the official foreign policy of the Nixon Administration was detente, which aimed to reduce tensions with the Soviet Union following the confrontations of the 1960s. These confrontations were evident in all corners of the world, including the Middle East. Since 1948, the Arab states of the Middle East had fought against the newly established Israel. The Arab forces were repeatedly pushed back by the more advanced and better disciplined Israeli military. The Arab-Israeli disputes, particularly the Egyptian-Israeli conflict, had evolved into a proxy conflict for the US and USSR. Nixon and Kissinger, despite their belief in detente, saw the need to end the Soviet exploitation of the Middle East through the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Sinai Agreement was, in part, the result of the Nixon and Ford Administrations efforts to reduce Soviet control

At the White House in Washington, D.C. Egyptian President Anwar el-Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin sign the Camp David Accords, laying the groundwork for a permanent peace agreement between Egypt and Israel after three decades of hostilities. The accords were negotiated during 12 days of intensive talks at President Jimmy Carter’s Camp David retreat in the Catoctin Mountains of Maryland. The final peace agreement–the first between Israel and one of its Arab neighbors–was signed in March 1979. Sadat and Begin were jointly awarded the 1978 Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts.

Anwar Sadat has impacted the peace process in the Arab-Israeli conflict through the role he played in the Camp David Accords. He is liked by the Israelis for the peace he brought between Egypt and Israel, but is disliked by the Arabs for the same reason.

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

“There is no happiness for people at the expense of other people.” This is one of the many quotes stated by Anwar Sadat who was assassinated in 1981. Anwar Sadat was born the 25th of December in 1918, Mit Abu al-Kawm, Egypt. At the age of 63 Anwar was assassinated on the 6th of October in 1981, Cairo, Egypt. He was the president of Egypt and spent most of his presidency trying to form a peace treaty with Israel. In 1978 Anwar created the Camp David peace treaty with Israel and after was given a Nobel Peace Prize by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

The evidence points to the opposite conclusion. From 1949-67, when Jews were forbidden to live on the West Bank, the Arabs refused to make peace with Israel. From 1967-77, the Labor Party established only a few strategic settlements in the territories, yet the Arabs showed no interest in making peace with Israel. In 1977, months after a Likud government committed to greater settlement activity took power, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat went to Jerusalem. One year later, Israel froze settlements, hoping the gesture would entice other Arabs to join the Camp David peace process But none would. In another Camp David summit in 2000, Ehud Barak offered to dismantle most settlements and create a Palestinian state in exchange for peace, and Yasser Arafat rejected the

Carter firmly believed in self-determination for all people. Carter wished for the United States to take lead of law in global undertakings.Additionally, he needed the United States to lead the pack in advancing all inclusive human rights. Carter trusted that American power ought to be practiced sparingly and that the United States ought to evade military interventions as much as they could. He trusted that American relations with the Soviet Union would proceed to enhance and that the two countries could come to monetary and arms control understandings that would unwind Cold War strains.

Anwar Sadat was born on December 25th 1918 in Egypt. He went to a military school created by the British in which he graduated with a government post but also is where he met Gamal Nasser (the future ruler of Egypt). He was arrested two time by the British and after being released he helped Nasser overthrow the Egyptian monarchy in 1952. He became vice president of Egypt and after Nasser died he took over the president seat. Sadat was not only close to achieving his goals in transcend the ethnic hatreds of his country by ending the gap between the rich and the poor but was working towards peace in the Middle East by going out to the neighboring country to advocated peace. All in which gaining him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978. He was assassinated

Before the Second World War, the role of individual leaders in shaping relationships among the peoples of the Middle East was limited. The factors in play after the fall of the Ottoman Empire centered more on the role of Zionism and the desire by both Israelites and Palestinians to control the power vacuum left after the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in 1922.

The Arab-Israeli conflicts in the Middle East have been an on-going issue since the establishment of Israel in 1948. The primary cause of the fighting between Arab-Israeli is the rejection of Israel exists in the Middle East. The first known outburst of Arab-Israeli conflict occurred in 1948. The United Nations stepped in to ensure peace in the Middle East, but that peace ended in 1967 when Gamal Abdel Nasser, the Egyptian President, instigated another war, with the intent to annihilate Israel. He successfully formed an alliance with all Arab countries to include Jordan and Syria, leaving Israel’s military vastly outnumbered. Abdel Nasser blocked off the Straits of Tiran in May 1967, cutting off Israel’s international trades
