The Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty is an agreement signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, and United States President Jimmy Carter, on the White House lawn on March 26, 1979.
The agreement established a framework for ending hostilities between the countries and establishing diplomatic relations between the countries, after multiple wars.
While that peace remains cold, and was strained even more following the last years wars, it still seems to be holding strong. Both nations even signed a huge 35 billion $ deal lately for [natural gas](https://www.spglobal.com/energy/en/news-research/latest-news/natural-gas/121825-israel-approves-35-bil-egypt-gas-export-deal).
