While much of the Arab world has remained officially hostile to the State of Israel throughout its history, Egypt took the brave step of making peace.
Israel and Egypt signed a peace treaty in 1979, which has stood the test time of time, enduring assassinations, a revolution, and the ever-present threat of terror groups like ISIS and Islamic Jihad.
Forty years later, other nations in the region are contemplating warming ties with the Jewish state, with Arab nations like Egypt and Jordan proving that recognition of Israel and establishment of diplomatic ties is the only way to move forward into the twenty-first century.
See how Israel and Egypt have maintained the peace throughout the decades, and continue to use their alliance to defeat ISIS and other Islamic terror groups.
