Begin obtains the Knesset's next-day approval of the Camp David accords, which consist of two agreements: one deals with the future of the West Bank and the other with the return of Sinai.

The accords are a framework for a comprehensive peace between Israel and the Arab states based on Resolution 242 and call for all the parties to complete peace treaties under its principles.

Rather than giving the Palestinians full independence, the accords offer them Begin's concept of autonomy, which provides for five years of limited Palestinian self-government to be followed by talks on final status between Israel and a Jordanian-Palestinian joint negotiating team.

The sections on the West Bank are vague and open to various interpretations.

They call for Egypt, Israel, Jordan, and "the representatives of the Palestinian people to negotiate about the future of the West Bank and Gaza."

The five-year period of "transitional autonomy" is called for "to ensure a peaceful and orderly transfer of authority."

The agreement also calls for peace talks between Israel and its other Arab neighbors, namely Syria.
