Vintage Israeli poster in Honor of the First Anniversary of the Israel-Egypt Peace Treaty, 1980

“Peace – it is the beauty of life, the rising of the sun, the smile of a child, a mother’s love, a father’s joy. It is the togetherness of a family, the advancement of humanity, the triumph of a just cause, the victory of truth. Peace is all these things and much more.”

On March 26, 1979, Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and United States President Jimmy Carter signed the Peace Accord. The photos from the event became the symbol of the agreement that changed the face of the Middle East.
