On his passing (12/29/2024) at the age of 100, DFI-LA remembers President Jimmy Carter as a principled leader who loved America and celebrates his monumental achievement of the first ever peace agreement between Israel and one of its neighboring Arab states. President Carter dedicated an enormous amount of focused time to this one issue during the 13 days of the Camp David Summit (September 5–17, 1978). Rarely had an American President devoted as much sustained attention to a single foreign policy issue as Carter did over the summit's nearly two-week duration. That peace treaty remains in place to this very day, and for that DFI-LA thanks him immensely.
