Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sissi has praised former U.S. President Jimmy Carter for his pivotal role in fostering peace between Egypt and Israel. 

Carter was the key architect of the 1978 Camp David Accords, which paved the way for the first peace treaty between Israel and an Arab country.

In a message shared on the social media platform X, President al-Sissi highlighted Carter's enduring legacy.

"His important role in achieving the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel will remain etched in the annals of history, and his humanitarian work embodies the highest principles of love, peace, and brotherhood," al-Sissi wrote.

The Camp David Accords, brokered by Jimmy Carter, were a landmark in Middle Eastern diplomacy. Signed by Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, the accords laid the groundwork for the 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, ending decades of conflict and establishing diplomatic relations between the two nations.

President al-Sissi’s tribute reflects Egypt’s continued acknowledgment of the significance of the Camp David Accords in shaping regional stability and fostering lasting peace. Carter’s contributions remain a cornerstone in the history of Egyptian-Israeli relations and a testament to the power of diplomacy.

As the region continues to face challenges, Carter's legacy serves as a reminder of the possibilities for peace through dialogue, perseverance, and mutual understanding.
