American Jewish groups are mourning Jimmy Carter, the former US president and broker of Israel’s peace deal with Egypt who died Sunday at 100.

In statements issued following his death, many of the groups cited the peace deal and other landmark moments in Carter’s presidency, which lasted from 1977 to 1981, as examples of Carter’s legacy. Several of them also acknowledged that in his post-presidency, the longest in American history, Carter displeased some American Jews by aggressively criticizing Israel for its treatment of Palestinians, characterizing it as “apartheid.”
