In fact, this is what happens.
In December 1977, Egypt and Israel had begun peace negotiations in Cairo.

On September 17, however, Carter announces that the Camp David Accords have been reached.
They consist of two parts, the Framework for Peace in the Middle East and the Framework for
the Conclusion of a Peace Treaty between Israel and Egypt.
