The Accords

The Accords



Goals

Egypt wanted Sinai back and relations with the US. Israel wanted Arab recognition. The US wanted diplomatic relations developed between Israel and Egypt. All wanted peace. 


Framework for Peace in the Middle East

This treaty called for:

1. A self-governing authority in Israeli-occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank, as progress towards Palestinian statehood

2. Implementation of U.N. resolutions 242 and 338

3. Recognition of Palestinian rights and processes to grant them full autonomy in the West Bank and Gaza within 5 years. 

Although the Palestinian situation was covered, the U.N rejected this because it concluded without participation from the U.N or PLO (Palestine Liberation Organization).
