موقف جامعة الدول العربية من عملية السلام المصرية الإسرائيلية 1977-1979

In spite of the effective role that Egypt has led inside the League of Arab States since it was established, and the clear contributions that were revealed in the form of supporting all Arab countries under colonisation, in addition to helping it stand on its feet after independence; these were not an excuse when it started drifting away from the political Arab trend which was opposing the Israeli policy, refusing any kind of compromise or negotiations with Israel and sticking to demanding the necessity of its retreat from all Arab lands. Such a trend appeared clearly in the reign of President Muhammad Anwar Es-Sadat. It eventually led to a severe crisis between Egypt on the one hand and the Arab countries on the other hand since 1977; when Sadat went to visit Jerusalem. It was also followed by major events that negatively affected the Egyptian-Arab relations (like Camp David Accords 1978, and the Peace Treaty 1979). It is well known that this crisis, and the consequences it resulted in, is considered one of the toughest crises that the League of Arab States has faced throughout its history, because of the serious implications that it led to, not only concerning the functional performance of this Arab national institution, but also concerning its structure – something that has never happened since its establishment.
