Stamato Commentary: Jimmy Carter’s pursuit of peace

January 8, 2025

A new op-ed by Linda Stamato reflects on the legacy of Jimmy Carter, highlighting his pivotal role in the 1978 Camp David Accords which forged a historic peace agreement between Egypt and Israel under challenging circumstances. Following the former president’s passing at age 100, Stamato emphasizes his courage, humanity, and unwavering belief in the possibility of peace, even when others doubted. Through personal diplomacy, Carter revived stalled talks with Israel, leading to a treaty that ended decades of conflict. While challenges remain in the Middle East, the Accords endure as a testament to Carter’s profound impact and moral leadership.
