...another emblem of that will was a mutual agreement by Sadat and Israeli Premier Menachem Begin to declare the borders between the two countries officially open. That decision was reached by the two men during a 15-min-ute private session in El Arish at a refurbished villa that only days before had been the headquarters of local Israeli water authorities.
