Answer:- The correct answers are: B, D and E

  • (B) They were the first peace agreement for Israel in the Middle East.
  • (D) They showed that Arabs and Israelis could negotiate in good faith.
  • (E) They showed that the US could play an important role in negotiations.

The Camp David Accords were a pair of political agreements signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin on 17 September 1978, following twelve days of secret negotiations at Camp David, the country retreat of the President of the United States in Maryland. The two framework agreements were signed at the White House and were witnessed by President Jimmy Carter. The second of these frameworks (A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel) led directly to the 1979 Egypt–Israel peace treaty.

The Camp David Accords were the first peace agreement between Israel and an Arab country. They showed that Arabs and Israelis could negotiate in good faith and that the US could play an important role in negotiations.

The Camp David Accords did not end all Arab-Israeli conflicts in the Middle East. The PLO was not a party to the Camp David Accords and did not give up violence for negotiation.
