Peace Treaty with Egypt and Sinai Redeployment: 1980-1982

The Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty was signed on March 26, 1979, following the Camp David Accords of September 18, 1978, which determined a framework for a peace treaty between both countries. The framework also set a timetable for establishing diplomatic relations and normalization between Israel and Egypt, as well as a timetable for IDF withdrawal from the line beginning east of El-Arish and extending to Ras Mohamed. The peace treaty "tied up loose threads" and included further Israeli withdrawal to the international border between the two states.
