Can you describe yourself and your status during these times? I was in high school, worried about my future. I was also concerned about being drafted into the military after collage and having my future life on hold.

When theses talks were starting what were you thinking? What do you remember the most from the Camp David Accords? I was very excited about starting a new age of peace and stability in my country for my generation and me. I also remember the excitement from the people in the streets knowing that many years of war and fear are going to soon be over.

Was the Camp David Accords on the front page of the newspaper? Can you describe how much the media was covering this? The news was on the front page of all the newspapers including the front page of the opposing parties. The media covered the whole trip of president Saddat to camp David hour by hour and day by day.

What were your thoughts of the outcome of this? The darkness and fear of the future might have an end and a bright peaceful future is ahead of us.

Did the Camp David Accords have any impact on your life? If so what was it? Camp David has secured my future and made it promising to live more peaceful.

How was the Camp David Accords taken by the public right after the treaty was signed? When the treaty was signed the majority of the people were approving and excited. But a small minority of people were apprehensive and some what negative.

What is the one thing that you remember during the whole time? As I was growing up I never imagined that the Egyptian president and Israeli prime minister would sit on the same table and shake hands ending more than 30 years of fear and uncertainty of war.
