Episode 269 Shabbat at Camp David

A chess match between Menachem Begin and Zbigniew Brzezinski provides an apt metaphor for the complex statecraft taking place at Camp David.

With a call to Ariel Sharon, Begin secures the political assistance he needs for a breakthrough to occur at Camp David.

Menachem Begin threatens to reject the Camp David agreement in order to maintain the integrity of the Jewish connection to Jerusalem. 

Despite fervent opposition from some of his political allies, Menachem Begin convinces the Israeli parliament to adopt the Camp David Accords.
