Walking to the Israeli leader's limousine afterward, the President's voice broke as he praised Begin's "extreme political and personal courage" and the strong ties between Israel and the U.S. "The Camp David accords and the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt are solemn documents committed on the honor of our nation, on a permanent basis," said Carter. Begin agreed, calling the accord "a binding treaty, a sacred trust...
...There was a good chemical reaction between Sadat and Peres," Eban remarked afterward, adding that "we conducted relations, not negotiations." Peres appeals to the Egyptians because he is seen as being less dogmatic than Begin about Israel's need to control all of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Moreover, he would bring to the negotiations none of the biblical fervor that fires Begin to claim the West Bank (or Judea and Samaria, as he calls it) as the historical birthright of the Jews; the Egyptians find that position exasperating and irrational.

"I felt as though I was wearing a bathing suit," he said afterward. He was, in fact, clad in wool underwear, a frogman's suit, a ski suit, a leather suit, several wool sweaters and a motorcycle helmet. The frigid feat ended in a small New Jersey airfield, after a ritual circling of the Statue of Liberty and a near collision with...
