[JUDAICA] -- BEGIN, Menachem (1913-1992). Typed letter signed (“M. Begin”), as Prime Minister, to Mrs. W. Lenox. Jerusalem, 17 October 1978. 1 page, 4to, on Prime Minister stationery, with envelope.
FOLLOWING THE CAMP DAVID ACCORDS, "IT IS OUR ARDENT WISH TO CONSUMMATE THE PEACE PROCESS AS SPEEDILY AS POSSIBLE"
“Upon our return to Jerusalem my colleagues and I are devoting all our energies to translating the important agreements of Camp David into the tangible realities of full peace and security. It is our ardent wish to consummate the peace process as speedily as possible. I know that you are with us in this historic effort.”
The Camp David Accords comprised two agreements: “A Framework for Peace in the Middle East,” and “A Framework for the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Egypt and Israel.” The second was a precursor to the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty signed in March 1979.
