The Anwar Sadat era in Egypt, particularly his rule from 1970 to 1981, was significant for several reasons. He shifted Egypt's foreign policy towards the West, notably signing the Camp David Accords in 1978, which led to a peace treaty with Israel and marked the first recognition of Israel by an Arab state. Domestically, Sadat's policies focused on infitah (economic openness), which aimed to liberalize the economy but also resulted in increased social disparity. His assassination in 1981 underscored the tensions within Egyptian society regarding his policies and peace efforts.
