Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi praised Carter's pivotal role in the peace agreement between Egypt and Israel, stating it will be historically significant. He noted, "His enduring legacy ensures that he will be remembered as one of the world's most prominent leaders in service to humanity." This highlights not just Carter's contributions, but their lasting impact on international relations and peace efforts in the region.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog recognized Carter's commitment to peace, referencing his efforts in aligning leaders like Begin and Sadat. Herzog celebrated the accords saying, "Carter's legacy will be defined by his deep commitment to forging peace between nations," underlining the continuing relevance of Carter's efforts in modern geopolitical stability.
Carter's accomplishment with the Camp David accords in 1978 is noted as a crucial foreign policy success that led to Egypt being the first Arab country to recognize Israel. This treaty not only transformed Egypt-Israel relations but also initiated the demilitarization of the Sinai Peninsula, showcasing the long-term implications of diplomatic endeavors.
Reflecting on the Camp David accords, Carter shared in a 2003 interview, "the treaty that we worked out with Israel and Egypt... not a single word of it has been violated on either side." This testament to the durability of the peace agreement serves as a profound validation of the collaborative spirit forged between the nations.
