Mustafa Khalil (Arabic: مصطفى خليل, romanizedMuṣṭafā Ḫalīl, IPA: [mosˈtˤɑfɑ xæˈliːl]; 18 November 1920 – 7 June 2008) was an Egyptian politician and Prime Minister of Egypt from October 2, 1978, to May 15, 1980. Khalil also served as the Egyptian Foreign Minister from February 17, 1979, until May 15, 1980, upon the resignation of the position's incumbent over objections on peace talks between Egypt and Israel. Khalil was best known for his integral role in the negotiations that led to the 1979 Camp David Accord peace treaty between Egypt and Israel.
