Boutros Boutros-Ghali, minister of state in Egypt's foreign ministry is standing between Sadat and Dayan and Elyahu Rubinstein, an Israeli advisor, is standing between Dayan and Weizman. Egypt began peace initiatives with Israel in late 1977, when Sadat visited Jerusalem. A year later, with the help of Carter, terms of peace between Egypt and Israel were negotiated at Camp David. A formal treaty, signed 26 March 1979 in Washington, D.C., granted full recognition of Israel by Egypt, opened trade relations between the two countries, and limited Egyptian military buildup in the Sinai. Israel agreed to return to final portion of occupied Sinai to Egypt. (Photo by AFP) (Photo by -/AFP via Getty Images)
