| Description | Cartoon shows three Arabs, standing on a rock labeled "Arab Baghdad Summit," angrily offering a bag labeled "Arab Oil Money" to Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, who rides by on a donkey. Sadat ignores them as he reaches toward a dove with an olive branch in its mouth. In September 1978, Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin signed an accord at Camp David, committing themselves to producing a peace treaty. The Arab states furiously rejected the idea, and at a meeting of the Arab League in Baghdad in October 1978, proposed creating a $9 billion dollar fund to help states confronting Israel. Despite the hostility of his Arab allies, Sadat continued efforts to come to agreement with Israel. A peace treaty was finally signed in March 1979. |
