Best Answer

Probably the first Arab to agree to peace with Israel was Sheikh Amin Taif of the Israeli Druze. He openly and clearly allied the Druze along with the Yishuv (the Jewish Community of British Palestine) and and swore to defend the Jewish State of Israel. Of course, there were Bedouin Sheikhs and some Palestinian Sheikhs (like Abu Ghosh) who made peaceful alliances with Israel as well.

The first Arab Statesman to make peace with Israel is President Anwar Sadat of Egypt.

Why does Israel desire Arab recognition?

The Arab countries and Israel desire peace and they need a leader country like the US to help them make peace.ANSWER:Israel desires Arab recognition as this means that in doing so the Arab countries would recognise Israels right to exist, thus securing its borders and bringing Peace. The problem is that many Arab countries refuse to recognise Israel and thus peace is not possible. Without recognition, there can be no peace.So in desiring recognition, Israel is also desiring Peace.Refusing recognition is allowing hostilities.

Was the first Arab country to sign a Treaty with Israel - a Egypt b Iran c Libya d Syria?

A) EGYPT - Egypt was the first Arab country to sign a peace treaty with Israel.As for a peace treaty, most nations around the world recognized Israel without a formal treaty and started relations almost immediately. Turkey and Iran are perfect examples of this, both recognizing Israel in 1949 and opening up embassies in Tel Aviv. (Iran withdrew its embassy after the Islamic Revolution.) Israel's first peace treaty with an Arab State was the Camp David Accords of 1979 between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat. This was extremely unpopular in Egypt, where the citizens wanted a perpetual conflict with Israel, and would eventually result in Sadat's assassination in 1981.As for the other answers:Iran is wrong because it is not an Arab country and it never signed a peace treaty with Israel. It afforded Israel peaceful diplomatic recognition as a matter of course.Libya never made peace with Israel.Syria never made peace with Israel.
