The Camp David Accords were brokered by Jimmy Carter and signed by the Egyptian and Israeli leaders on September 17, 1978, at Camp David, Maryland. When the accords were signed the ideological barrier between Egypt and Israel was broken, and it ultimately resulted in peace, an improved economy for both countries, and a perceptional barrier that was built, separating Egypt and Israel from every other Arab country.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
