After 31 Years of War: An Israeli-Egyptian Peace Treaty Signed

(Continued from Page 1)
Begin of Israel and
President Arwar Sadat
of Egypt solemnly affixed
their signatures to the
documents of peace and
President Jimmy Carter
signed as witness on be-
half of the United States.
For Israel, its first treaty
of peace with an Arab state
came just two months shy of
31 years after its rebirth as

a sovereign nation. For the
first time, an Arab govern-
ment formally recognized
Israel as a sovereign Jewish
state. The three leaders —
Carter, Sadat and Begin —
hailed the momentous
event, each in his own
words.
Carter, who was the
first to speak after the
signing, declared: "To-
day we celebrate a vic-
tory — not of a bloody
military campaign, but of
an inspiring peace cam-
paign. Two leaders who
will loom large in history
— Anwar el-Sadat and
Menahem Begin — have
conducted this campaign
with all the courage,
tenacity, brilliance and
inspiration of any gener-
als who ever led men and
machines on the field of
battle."
Sadat, who followed Car-
ter, said, "This is certainly
one of the happiest mo-
ments of my life. It is a his-
toric turning point of great
significance for all peace-
loving nations . . . . Today, a
new dawn is emerging out of
the darkness of the past. A
new chapter is being opened
in the history of co-
existence among nations,
one that is worthy of our

spiritual values and civili-
zation."
Begin declared in his
speech, "Despite thb
tragedies and disappoint-
ments of the past, we must
never forsake that vision,
that human dream, that un-
shakeable faith. Peace is
the beauty of life; it is sun-
shine, it is the smile of a
child, the love of the mother,
the joy of the father, the to-
getherness of a family; it is
the advancement of men,
the victory of a just cause,
the triumph of right. Peace
is all these and more . ."
The Egyptian leader, in
his speech, omitted a pas-
-sage addressed to Carter
that appeared in his pre-
pared text: "No one is
more entitled to your
support and backing
than the Palestinian
people. A grave injustice
was inflicted upon them
in the past. They need a
reassurance that they
will be able to take the
first step on the road to
self-determination and
statehood. A dialogue be-
tween the United States
and the representatives
of the Palestinian people
will be a very helpful de-
velopment . ."
Begin introduced the only
moment of levity when he
said he agreed with Sadat
that Carter was an "un-
known soldier" in the cause
of peace, adding, to laughter
and applause, "as usual,
