Summary: OPEC was upset because Egypt was trying to put pressure on Israel but provided them with oil. Begin and Sadat signed a peace deal between the Egypt and the Israelis which still exists today.
As we meet here at Camp David we ask people of all faiths to pray with us that peace and justice may result from these deliberations."
