After Anwar Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem in 1977, Israel and Egypt negotiated for a year and reached agreement on most issues: peace, diplomatic relations, and full Israeli withdrawal from all occupied Egyptian territory in Sinai. At this point, President Jimmy Carter – who initially opposed the process – invited both sides to Camp David to hammer out a peace treaty.
在安瓦尔·萨达特于1977访问耶路撒冷后，以色列和埃及进行了一年的谈判并且在绝大多数问题上取得的共识：和平，外交关系以及以色列从埃及西奈所有被占领土上全面撤军。在这个时候，吉米·卡特总统－他开始是反对这个进程－邀请双方到戴维营制定出了一个和平条约。
