When three deeply religious leaders - a Baptist, a Muslim, and an Orthodox Jew - gathered at Camp David in 1978, their shared spiritual convictions proved unexpectedly crucial to achieving Middle East peace. As an eyewitness invited by Vice President Mondale to attend President Carter's congressional address, I documented unprecedented access to the negotiation's intimate dynamics and key political figures. Through participant observation, I witnessed how religious observance directly shaped diplomatic procedure, most notably when Begin's Sabbath restrictions required Mondale to act as his personal scribe. The negotiations demanded creative approaches, with aides conducting indirect diplomacy due to personal tensions between Begin and Sadat, while Carter devoted intensive eight-hour sessions to bridging divides. Privileged conversations with Vice President Mondale revealed how the leaders' respective faiths - Carter's Christian devotion, Sadat's Islamic practices, and Begin's Jewish observance - created an underlying foundation of mutual respect. This religious dimension, culminating in what many participants viewed as divine providence (hashgaha), proved instrumental in resolving the thirty-year conflict between Israel and Egypt, demonstrating how interfaith cooperation can transcend seemingly intractable political differences.
