A két Camp David-i egyezmény (1978. szeptember 17.)  eredményeként jöhetett létre 1979-ben az egyiptomi–izraeli békemegállapodás, amelyet Washingtonban írtak alá a felek, 1979. március 26-án. A békeszerződés korszakhatár jelent az egyiptomi–izraeli kapcsolatok történetében.  A békeszerződés következményeként az Arab Liga – melynek államai a Camp David-i egyezmények aláírása után erős nyomást gyakoroltak Egyiptomra, hogy az ne tárgyaljon tovább Izraellel – 1979 és 1989 között felfüggesztette Egyiptom tagságát az arab államok szervezetében. A békekötést mint „különbékét” az arab világban fogadó felháborodás egy további utólagos következménye volt ezen kívül, hogy 1981-ben Szadat egyiptomi elnök merénylet áldozata lett. Halálával azonban az egyiptomi–izraeli kapcsolatok nem indultak romlásnak. Utódjának, a máig elnöklő Hoszni Mubarak rezsimjének az Egyesült Államok jelentős segélyezője azóta is, és az Egyesült Államok ily módon egyben az Izraellel kötött békemegállapodás mellett kitartó egyiptomi politika egyfajta „finanszírozója” is. Az izraeli–egyiptomi megállapodások, illetve a békeszerződéshez utóbb, 1981-ben csatolt jegyzőkönyvvel létrejött békefenntartó misszió, az MFO (Multi-national Forces and Observers) által a Sínai-félszigeten teremtett helyzet (izraeli kivonulás; zónák szerint korlátozott egyiptomi katonai jelenlét; kis létszámú nemzetközi békefenntartó erő) napjainkban a palesztin Gázai övezet felé a félszigeten keresztülhaladó fegyvercsempész útvonalak miatt kap újra figyelmet. Izrael azzal vádolja Egyiptomot, hogy az nem tesz eleget a csempészet leállítása érdekében, Egyiptom pedig az 1979–1982-es megállapodásokra hivatkozik, melyek alapján erre mindenképpen csak korlátozottan lehet képes (ld. az alábbiakban az izraeli–egyiptomi békeszerződés I. számú mellékletének II.–III. cikkeit). Izrael megfontolásait bonyolítja, hogy az 1979-es, az egyiptomiakkal kötött békeszerződés felülírása, illetve a Sínai-félsziget egyiptomi remilitarizálásának esetleges elfogadása megfoszthatja az egyik legfontosabb katonastratégiai előnytől, amellyel egy hosszú távon nem feltétlenül barátságos Egyiptommal szemben számolhat: vagyis hogy a szomszédos arab állam jelenleg nem hajthat végre csapatösszevonásokat közös határukon.
