Two former enemies, one Nobel Peace Prize.

On October 27, 1978, the Norwegian Nobel Committee announced that Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin would share the Nobel Peace Prize. Just weeks earlier, after 13 days of talks hosted by US President Jimmy Carter, they had signed the Camp David Accords.

In March 1979 Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, and Egypt became the first Arab state to formally recognize Israel. That peace between the two countries has held ever since.

What makes a peace agreement last?
