PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST - FOR A WHILE? The 13-day Camp David Mideast Summit ended late Sunday evening, September 17, with a dramatic and largely unexpected announcement of the signing of two important agreements by Israel and Egypt. The first agreement, called "A Framework For Peace in the Middle East at Camp David," sets forth an interim arrangement for limited Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and partial Israeli military withdrawal from those areas over the next five years. It is viewed as a potential basis for long-sought peace treaties between Israel and her Arab neighbors. - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
