Israel’s main peace treaties with neighboring countries are open-ended; they do not have fixed expiration dates and are intended to remain in force indefinitely unless one side formally withdraws.

Key peace treaties with Israel

  • The Egypt–Israel peace treaty was signed on March 26, 1979, following the Camp David Accords. It established mutual recognition, ended the formal state of war, and led to Israel’s withdrawal from the Sinai Peninsula; it was written as a permanent peace agreement and remains in force today with no end date.
  • Over the decades, Egypt and Israel have maintained diplomatic relations, security cooperation, and freedom of navigation arrangements under this treaty, which shows it functions as a long-term, ongoing framework rather than a time-limited deal.

About “how long is the peace treaty”

  • If the question is about a specific recent “peace deal” or ceasefire (for example, with Hamas in Gaza), those are usually structured in phases and timelines (days, weeks, or months) but are not the same as a full interstate peace treaty and often have no guaranteed long-term duration.
  • By contrast, the formal state-to-state peace treaties (like with Egypt, and later with Jordan—not covered in the sources above but similar in structure) are drafted as permanent agreements that last indefinitely unless abrogated, rather than “X years long” contracts.

If you meant a newer Israel–Hamas peace accord

  • Recent agreements between Israel and Hamas have been described as ceasefires or peace deals with multiple stages, including hostage-for-prisoner exchanges and security arrangements, often referencing an aspiration to “eternal peace” but not specifying a fixed total length.
  • These accords are better thought of as ongoing political and security frameworks whose survival depends on both sides’ compliance, rather than treaties with a preset number of years before they automatically expire.

TL;DR: The classic peace treaty with Egypt (and similar treaties) is designed to be permanent with no set end date, while newer Israel–Hamas deals are phased ceasefires and agreements that can last or collapse depending on implementation rather than on a fixed term.
