The United Nations headquarters in New York held a festive event Wednesday evening, marking the 40th anniversary of the signing of the peace treaty between Israel and Egypt.
As part of the event, a photo exhibition was opened, documenting special moments in the establishment of the peace agreement, which will be presented for a week at the headquarters. Israeli UN Ambassador Danny Danon said, "This long-standing peace agreement has helped both countries, and proves that Israel adheres to its desire for peace in the Middle East. The threat to regional peace does not come from Israel, but from leaders who refuse to put down the sword and choose terror and hatred rather than creating a better future."
