EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of the first-ever face-to-face meeting between Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, marking a significant turning point in the Middle East peace process. The image was taken in November 1977 during Sadat's groundbreaking two-day visit to Israel, which marked the first time an Arab leader had set foot in the country since its establishment 29 years prior. The meeting took place in Tel Aviv, with Sadat extending his hand in a gesture of peace and reconciliation to Begin. This momentous occasion paved the way for the Camp David Accords in 1978, which led to the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty in 1979, ending the state of war between Egypt and Israel and bringing hope for peace in the Middle East. The handshake between Sadat and Begin symbolizes the political courage and determination of these two leaders to seek a peaceful resolution to the long-standing conflict, making this photograph an iconic image in the annals of Middle Eastern history.
