Carter's Middle East peace legacy survives, but mostly in name

US President Jimmy Carter's legacy of brokering peace between Egypt and Israel survives, but it is considered tepid and shaky. The 1979 peace treaty between the two countries has resulted in close trade relations, security collaboration, and diplomatic ties, but for ordinary Egyptians, Israel remains a public enemy. The recent Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has reinvigorated Egyptians' solidarity with Palestinians. Despite some accusations of treaty violations, the agreement has survived and is not on the table for suspension by either government. Carter's diplomatic legacy was praised by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
