On Regaining Sinai through the Camp David Accords
Many people claim that the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel brought the Sinai desert back to Egypt, which is much more than what war against Israel brought back.
But those who think this way, are actually unable to see the big picture in the Arab-Zionist struggle.
Egypt being the largest and most important Arab state, was especially irksome to Israel. Thus, it was very important for Israels survival to get Egypt out of the game: THERES NO SERIOUS MILITARY ARAB OPTION AS LONG AS EGYPT IS TIED DOWN IN THE SHACKLES OF CAMP DAVID.
According to some strategic analysts, the raid on the Iraqi nuclear reactor and the war against Lebanon in 1982 would not have been as feasible for "Israel if it werent for the Camp David Accords.
Politically, the Zionist strategy in negotiations has been to get each Arab state alone, and to refuse to negotiate with one united Arab delegation. GETTING EGYPT OUT OF THE PICTURE STRENGTHENED ISRAELS HAND AGAINST THE PALESTINIANS AND OTHER ARABS IN NEGOTIATIONS. Just like Oslo itself, then Wadi Arabah, strengthened the hand of the Israelis against Syria and Lebanon.
Surely they gave Sinai back, but they got Egypt instead! This was not only in relationship to the Arab-Zionist struggle by the way, but also in the cold war against the Soviet Union, and with respect to opening up the Egyptian economy to American and western companies in the episode otherwise known as al-infita77.
